evidence: In a significant development, CTVNews.ca recently obtained a photograph of the unidentified object that was shot down by U.S. Air Force F-22 over Canada’s Yukon territory in February 2023. The release of this grainy image (unclear whether it was taken from a Raptor during the intercept or from the ground) comes as part of a larger freedom of information request and has reignited discussions about the mysterious aerial incidents that captured international attention last year. [...] While the image is grainy and lacks detail, it nonetheless provides the first visual confirmation of the unidentified object shot down in Yukon. Interestingly, the object itself was described in reports as a "cylindrical" item with a metallic top and a dangling wire carrying a small payload. "Visual – a cylindrical object […] "Top quarter is metallic, remainder white. 20-foot wire hanging below with a package of some sort suspended from it." [...] The unidentified object was shot down by a U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor on Feb. 11, 2023, just after it entered Canadian airspace over Yukon, near the border with Alaska. The engagement followed a series of similar incidents in early February 2023, including the much-publicized downing of a Chinese surveillance balloon off the coast of South Carolina. In fact, the Yukon shootdown was part of a rapid sequence of military responses that saw three unidentified aerial objects destroyed between Feb. 10 and 12, raising questions about what exactly was happening in the skies over North America.
