“Mystery Solved? US and Canada Uncover the Truth Behind Objects Shot Down Over the Weekend”
Americans were in shock this weekend when reports surfaced that two objects had been shot down over the US and Canada. US and Canadian jets were called in to investigate, with a US F-22 shooting down one of the objects in Canada. Reports from China said that the country had identified an object near its border as well.
Today, it’s been confirmed that all these objects were small balloons carrying a payload. The devices were much smaller than the Chinese spy craft shot down last week. This followed a statement from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who said he had received a briefing on the issue Sunday and was told that the device over Alaska was believed to be a balloon.
Though the US and Canada have now declared their success in taking down the balloons, Americans are still livid that a Chinese spy balloon was able to fly across the US last week. Meanwhile, President Biden and Prime Minister Trudeau are claiming to have defended North America.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping the US and Canada safe from foreign objects. It’s unclear how this will affect future US-China relations, but for now, the two countries have managed to protect their air space.
