Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered the “takedown of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace” Saturday, according to a tweet.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said Saturday it was monitoring “a high altitude airborne object” over northern Canada, and that military aircraft were operating in the area from Alaska and Canada, according to a news release from the agency.

The object was shot down over the Yukon by another U.S. Air Force F-22 fighter jet.

“Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object,” Trudeau added.

Trudeau also said he has spoken with President Biden and that Canadian Forces will recover and analyze the wreckage of the object.

“Thank you to NORAD for keeping the watch over North America,” Trudeau said.

“We have no further details about the object at this time other than it appears to be a small cylindrical object and smaller than the one that was downed off the coast of North Carolina,” Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand said Saturday evening.

“It appears to be a small cylindrical object and smaller than the one that was downed off the coast of North Carolina,” Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand said.

A temporary flight restriction was put in place Saturday night over Montana but it has been lifted, according North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

The temporary restriction was issued after NORAD detected a “radar anomaly.” Aircraft were sent to investigate the incident but didn’t see anything.

“With the cooperation of the Federal Aviation Administration, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) implemented a temporary flight restriction airspace in central Montana on Feb. 11, 2023, to ensure the safety of air traffic in the area during NORAD operations. The restriction has been lifted,” NORAD said in a statement. “NORAD detected a radar anomaly and sent fighter aircraft to investigate. Those aircraft did not identify any object to correlate to the radar hits. NORAD will continue to monitor the situation.”

“I’m in direct contact with the Pentagon regarding the object in Montana’s airspace & will receive frequent updates,” Senator Steve Daines said in a tweet Saturday. “Montanans still have questions about the Chinese spy balloon that flew over our state last week. I’ll continue to demand answers on these invasions of US airspace.”
