Recently released documents have shed light on the recovery of a UFO shot down by a U.S. F-16 fighter jet over Lake Huron. The debris, described as octagonal and string-laden, was recovered by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) weeks after the incident. The wreckage discovery was detailed in a report obtained by CTV News.
- A U.S. F-16 fighter jet intercepted and shot down the UFO on February 12, 2023, marking the third such incident in North America within the same month.
- The wreckage, described as an octagonal object with strings, was retrieved by RCMP weeks later, although adverse weather initially delayed recovery efforts.
- Officials stated the object was likely related to weather monitoring equipment, though its downing followed heightened tensions after the U.S. downed a Chinese surveillance balloon earlier that month.
The UFO shot down on February 12, 2023, has sparked intense interest among lawmakers and the public alike. Described as an octagonal object with strings attached, the craft was intercepted by a U.S. F-16 fighter jet and brought down with a missile. This was the third unexplained aerial object to be neutralized within February 2023 alone.
According to reports obtained through a Freedom of Information request by CTV News, the wreckage was found on Lake Huron’s shoreline. The RCMP, alongside the U.S. and Canadian Coast Guards, conducted a brief but ultimately halted search due to weather complications and the low likelihood of recovery. However, RCMP later retrieved the debris in March 2023.
The recovered materials have been linked to weather monitoring equipment, as stated in emails between RCMP officials and a Canadian military general. This revelation follows heightened UFO activity in February 2023, a month that also saw the U.S. military down a Chinese surveillance balloon, raising concerns about unidentified objects in North American airspace.
On November 13, 2024, Congress held its second hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs). Lawmakers demanded transparency and accountability regarding such incidents. Experts, including former NASA official Michael Gold, emphasized the need for courage in addressing the unknown. These hearings reflect growing governmental interest in UFOs and UAPs amid increasing public demand for clarity.
