Object destroyed over the Yukon ‘potentially similar’ to Chinese spy balloon: minister
Defence Minister Anita Anand said it was too early to tell whether a “cylindrical object” shot down over central Yukon on Saturday was from China, even as she hinted about it being another Chinese spy balloon.
Chief of the defence staff Gen. Wayne Eyre referred to the object as a “balloon” during the same news conference. Trudeau added that he had been in touch with U.S. President Joe Biden, and the Canadian Armed Forces was in the process of recovering and analyzing the wreckage. The object’s appearance over central Yukon came as Trudeau was preparing to attend a fundraiser in Whitehorse on Sunday.
“When we first started tracking this object, it was dark and we needed to make sure that we had a visual of it and so needed to wait for daylight to emerge,” she said.
