Was a UFO shot down over Canada? That's what many people are saying after seeing video footage!

There's now a newly released image that shows a UFO shot down by a US fighter jet over Canada that happened back in 2023. Now, people have more questions than ever regarding the Unidentified Flying Object. Is it aliens? What could it be?

Was A UFO Shot Down Over Canada Or What Is That?

It's hard to tell exactly what it is based on the grainy photo--but I guess that's why they call them "Unidentified" Flying Objects. If we were able to identify them it wouldn't be as big of a mystery. It appears to show a cylindrical object that's suspected to be a balloon floating some 40,000 feet above the Yukon days before it was taken out. The image was reportedly obtained from a request with Canada's Department of National Defence.

According to The New York Post, a US F-22 shot the object which was originally tracked flying over the state of Alaska 8 days prior to being shot down. Later, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave the green light to shoot it down and it was hit with an AIM 9x missile. Several similar objects were spotted around that time flying over North America and all 3 were eventually downed. One of those was in Alaska, one on Lake Huron, and another in the Yukon.

The New York Post reports that these objects were smaller than the suspected Chinese spy balloon that was spotted over Alaska around that time. I remember when that was viral and a big deal. It sounds like a lot went into deciding if the photo should be released to the public but it eventually was. An official with the Canadian Department of National Defence told The New York Post, "Should the image be released, it would be via the [Canadian armed forces] social media accounts. Given the current public environment and statements related to the object being benign, releasing the image may create more questions/confusion, regardless of the text that will accompany the post." Well, they saw this coming! It is, indeed, very confusing and we have more questions now than ever before!

What do you think? Is it aliens? Is it foreign spies? The possibilities are endless and we may never know. The objects were all shot down but poor weather conditions created slim chances of finding debris to get more answers as to what these UFOs really are. Until we get these answers, it's all up to our imaginations.

7 ‘Eh-List’ Celebrity Canadians

How's she goin' eh? Canadians hold a special place in our hearts. That's why you'll frequently hear about 'Those Crazy Canadians' on Dave & Chuck The Freak. However, not every famous Canadian has done something worthy of making the segment. In fact, many celebrities are indeed Canadian. Here are 7 'Eh-List' Celebrity Canadians that everyone knows.

Now, just because everyone knows these celebrity Canadians that have become household names doesn't mean they know these celebs are Canadian! Of course, some will be obvious than others.

Some of the biggest names in show business are Canadians. There are musicians, actors, comedians, and athletes alike that all hail from Canada. These Canadians are our buddies, they are our guys, and they are our friends. Sorry, South Park.

I decided to do a list of 7 'Eh-List' celebrity Canadians, but there are much more than 7 of them. Limiting the list to only 7 caused a few problems. That meant some big names were being left on the cutting room floor!

Here are some recognizable names of celebrities you might not have known were Canadian that didn't make the list of 7: Keanu Reeves, Celine Dion, Michael J. Fox, the late Matthew Perry, William Shatner, Will Arnett, Neil Young, and more!

When you look at the full list, it's actually very impressive! The funniest comedians in the game seem to be from Canada. There's Mike Myers, Dan Aykroyd, Phil Hartman, and more that we'll talk about in a minute. Then, the world of rock and roll is no different! You've got Chad Kroeger, Avril Lavigne (think they mind being so close to each other on this list?), and who could forget The Barenaked Ladies? Also, I know he's not rock but I feel like I have to mention Michael Buble because he's Canadian and I think we'd get along very well.

Regardless, here are 7 'Eh-List' celebrity Canadians!

Seth Rogen is one of my favorite people on the planet. He's hilarious and he seems like a good dude. In other words, the ultimate Canadian! He talks about growing up in Canada a lot. He has a lot of pride for his homeland.

Honestly, if I could pick one celebrity to hangout with, I'd pick Seth. I have no doubt we'd be good friends.

Justin Bieber might not have all the traits that Canadians are known for having, like being pleasant and generally nice, but he still is Canadian! The superstar was born in London, Canada. They might not want to claim him, but it remains true.

Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey is another funny person from Canada. He was born in Newmarket, Canada. One of the funniest people of all-time, in my opinion. You can always count on Jim for a laugh.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
