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?

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.
