AN EERIE picture declassified by the Canadian government has revealed a bizarre “cylinder” UFO that was shot down by a US fighter jet in a secret operation.
The grainy image, understood to be a copy of an email printout, shows a white, doughnut-shaped object that flew over Alaska in 2023.
It was one of the three “unidentified aerial objects” that were shot down by a US Air Force F-22 fighter jet during a highly secretive joint mission with the Canadian armed forces.
The downing followed the spotting of a gigantic Chinese spy balloon the size of three buses which was seen lurking over the US.
The circular UFO along with the other two mystery objects were initially thought to be “suspected spy balloons”, but were reportedly much smaller than the towering Chinese inflatable object that sparked chaos in America.
And its picture was released as part of a Freedom of Information request filed by an anonymous Canadian citizen, and obtained by a reporter at CTVNews.ca.
One email from Eric Laforest, a Canadian Brigadier-General, revealed the description of the mystery object.
The email described it as a “cylindrical object” that appeared to have a white body and a metallic with a metallic top.
He added: ” 20-foot wire hanging below with a package of some sort suspended from it.”
A top memo from the Pentagon office revealed that the object appeared to be a “small, metallic balloon with a tethered payload below it.”
The image appears to have been taken from an aircraft below it, although that has not been confirmed.
Dark portions seen at the top of the UFO in the picture may depict the metallic top of the object, as reported by the US and Canadian authorities.
The image of the object was distributed internally just after the incident.
It was declassified for public release, but the decision as help back shortly.
An official working with Canada‘s Department of National Defence (DND) reportedly warned that releasing this unclassified UFO image “may create more confusion”.
But the released picture is now raising more concerns abut the mysteries behind UFO sightings across the skies in the US.
Just a few days ago, Donald Trump vowed to reveal exclusive UFO footage if he is elected back to the office in the November elections.
The Republican presidential candidate said he would push the Pentagon to declassify the alleged UFO sighting videos in a sensational interview.
Trump, who is hoping to beat Democratic rival Kamla Harris in the upcoming presidential elections, is known to have a decade-long fascination with aliens and unexplainable sightings.
He told popular American podcaster Lex Fridman that he would “surely” make secret footage of alleged UFO sightings public.
While most sightings have been deemed balloons, other reports lead the office to investigate UFOs that they say are anomalous.
Trump has previously suggested he would reveal more information from a wide range of classified files to the American people.
The real threat of UFOs and aliens
FOR decades, UFOs and aliens were considered to be make belief things created by people in tinfoil hats but they are now considered a threat to national security.
Long gone are those who claim conspiracy theories are all false as many are now discussed at the highest levels of government with US officials even admitting their existence.
As more and more credible witnesses continue to come forward to tell their extraordinary stories publicly.
The 2010s saw decades of stigmas around extraterrestrial life start to break down as politicians made UFO sightings a matter of national security.
Across the world, governments have also unveiled some spooky truths with some even showcasing “dead alien corpses” on display for Congress.
Researchers recently verified the legitimacy of a set of three-fingered mummies as potential evidence of “non-human” life forms.
A line-up of doctors confirmed at Mexico’s Congress on Tuesday that the bodies, purportedly not of this Earth, were in fact real, once-living organisms.
The Pentagon also released a blockbuster 1,574 pages of real-life X-Files in 2022, related to its secretive UFO programme.
The haul includes reports into research on the biological effects of UFO sightings on humans, sets out categorisations for paranormal experiences, and studies into sci-fi-style tech.
Top UFO chief Sean Kirkpatrick told the world last year that he is set to step down from his job following his stern warning of concerning activity “in our backyard.”
The Pentagon’s UFO analysis office launched a UFO reporting service to the public after admitting to uncovering “some things” and calling the high number of suspicious activity either a foreign power or aliens.
Navy jet footage has revealed the intriguing images of a government-confirmed UFO baffling the internet.
The United States Government launched the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022 to investigate reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs).
In 2021, Trump signed a bill calling on intelligence agencies to find out the truth behind UFO military base sightings.
Trump also said he had heard some “interesting things” about aliens as he hinted he may declassify files on the infamous Roswell UFO.
Roswell is regarded as one of the most notorious UFO incidents.
It happened when a rancher discovered a mysterious crash site on his pasture in New Mexico in 1947.
The US Air Force said it was a crashed weather balloon, and later admitted it was part of a secret nuclear test.
Theories still rage about the crash, however, with the most outlandish claiming it was a flying saucer filled with alien bodies that were recovered and taken to Area 51.
