Recently declassified documents from the Royal Canadian Air Force show how two Air Canada flights spotted a suspected Chinese spy balloon days before it became headline news.
A large balloon drifts above the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South Carolina, with a fighter jet below it, on Feb. 4, 2023.
Air force technicians searched for other unknown radar tracks, but only found the balloon. After the second Air Canada flight saw it, a "vital intelligence" report was distributed. Shortly after, three other objects were tracked and shot down over Alaska, Yukon and Lake Huron between Feb. 10 and 12, 2023. While possibly smaller balloons of different origins, no debris was located and all three officially remain unidentified.
"The investigation will remain open until such time as the purpose of the object has been assessed," an RCMP spokesperson told CTVNew.ca.
