JUST IN - First image released of 'cylindrical' UFO shot down by US fighter jet over Alaska in 2023 - Daily Mail



www.dailymail.co.uk...

Canada has released a first-ever image of the UFO shot down during the chase over Alaska and the Yukon territory that followed the now infamous Chinese spy balloon drama of February 2023.

The unusual, grainy and apparently xeroxed or printed photo depicts a seemingly circular white object with ill-defined edges — shot down by a US Air Force F-22 stealth fighter on a joint mission with the Canadian Armed Forces.

One unusual feature of the newly released UFO photo is that it had already been designated as 'unclassified' within just days of the now 19-month-old incident.

A possible reason, as one public affairs official with Canada's Department of National Defence (DND) warned colleagues, was internal fears that releasing this unclassified UFO image 'may create more questions/confusion.'

The emails, obtained along with the eerie new UFO photo by CTVNews.ca reporter Daniel Otis via an open records law request, also included efforts by members of Canada's armed forces to better understand the craft that had been shot down.

One email from Canadian Brigadier-General Eric Laforest described the UFO as a 'cylindrical object.'

'Top quarter is metallic, remainder white. 20-foot wire hanging below with a package of some sort suspended,' Brig. Gen. Laforest wrote. 'Best description that we have.'

Need more images. Can't see the "cylindrical" shape at all. Looks like a toilet seat.

Imagine that you're flying along in your F-18 looking up at the bottom of a cylinder--which you would be if the cylinder was floating thousands of feet above you and the cylinder axis was vertical. The longitudinal axis of the cylinder would be oriented vertically if the cylinder was a lighter than air balloon and there was a payload hanging down below it.

What you would see is the circular cross section bottom of the cylinder.

Now imagine that the Sun is at a low angle--like just coming up at dawn from off to the right. The Sun would illuminate the bottom of the balloon and you would see an illuminated disc that is quite a bit brighter than the background sky.

Now imagine that that payload hanging down includes a rectangular solar panel pointed at the Sun.

Because the Sun is at a low angle off to the right, that panel will cast a sharp edged shadow that will prevent a small segment of the circular, main balloon bottom from being illuminated, off to the left. That will cause the circular bottom of the cylindrical balloon to appear as a "C" instead of an "O".

Maybe that's what we're seeing.

Nah, obviously that was where the ring-pull came off the top of the 'cylindrical object'.

So if it was shot down, where is it now? There must be experts examining it.

How about a HR close up photo of the thing on the ground, or in whatever hangar it was brought to?

Looks the same as the STS-75 Tether UFO Incident ... which was debunked

After all these decades of UFO's being impervious to any governments' firepower shooting them down works now?

a reply to: Boomer1947

Thankyou for spelling it out. I can now view this UFO as the pilot.. looking at it from below.

It's probably the Boy Scout experiment, which is why it was declassified so quickly.

Check this reddit page here

Imgur is down for me right now, otherwise i would have copied the two pics of the shot down object and uploaded them here. Just check the imgur links in the comments. The object has a tic tac shape and is in white color, looks like right out of a star wars movie, it looks too man-made for me. Maybe a reverse engineered object of another nation?

But what do we know about what such an object actually looks like up close, especially if it is something "exotic" and not man-made?

a reply to: WeMustCare

Boy Scouts don't exist any more, not in this timeline.

Definitely wasn't declassified because of some merit badges.

Probably a drone reflecting swamp gas from Mars ...

We already knew what it looked like!

Despite a lot of excited and non-relevant wording in this piece, the object was obviously one of those balloons.

Just so you know, we have been hugely lied to about these various affairs. Several months before the first incident, I spotted one of the same damned balloons incredibly high and moving from the southwest to the northeast as it passed over the Austin, Texas, area. I used binocs and was amazed about how high the object was. I told two people about the sighting at the time. Just to be clear, it was a huge white balloon and with a slim, black rectangular object below it. Never was any reported coming across Texas from the southwest.

Here's the CTV News article on the object, CTV was the news agency from Canada that obtained the image from the Canadian government.

According to the article it was shot down over Yukon not Alaska

Good explanation I was curious about that too when I read the article yesterday afternoon

After reading your post, my mind immediately came up with this. What if the (U.S.) military hid in plain sight munitions that are capable of downing UAPs. Hid them by making them a standard loadout, able to take down human aircraft and with the ability to also target the gravity drives of the UAP.

Or, as the rumor goes, the aircraft radar works at a specific frequency that disrupts the UAPs ability to avoid said munitions.

My thoughts exactly.

Somebody knows something.

We know what it was! And frankly, you could search for decades in that wilderness and never find a few scraps of metallic balloon material and some blown up electrical components (probably scattered over a large area). I'm sure of the USAF really wanted to study it they could contact a local amateur radio enthusiast and get hold of a replica.

Jeez Canadian government..
If you must release a photograph-release a proper one not a photo of a photo of a fax of a photo copy which ends up looking like a charcoal sketch.

That reddit image is intersting though-but it looks to me like it was a different site due to the ice.

I suppose it could be the same object after being recovered from the water-if it was floating down lengthways,with only one end at the surface?

My question, the ultimate question is IF it's just a weather balloon, or Boy Scout experiment why are TPTB remaining so GD coy about the subject?

This is an example of why nobody trusts our government and our media, as it seems every incident or story becomes a chance for them to manipulate it to thier maximum advantage.



FWIW it doesn't look like just a weather balloon unless the ballon has been removed and thats the payload, not to mention a ballons mode of propulsion would be easily identifiable

The image in the OP is so Vague and Blurry it could be anything .

It's just some Blurry black and white nothing from no where ????

Why would anyone equate the image to being a UFO ? There is no Video , No Wide angle shot to see what was actually happening , Literally ZERO CONTEXT ....

I hate crap like this all it does is muddy the waters even more.

F*ck NASA and The Air Force .
