UFO enthusiasts are attempting to draw parallels between a old video that appears to show a flying aircraft zooming through the clouds and the recently declassified image of the UFO that was shot down near Alaska last year.
The photo shows a seemingly glowing horse shoe-shaped object with ill-defined edges over the Yukon territory in northwest Canada on February 11, 2023.
An internal email obtained by CTVNews had a Canadian brigadier-general describing it as such: ‘Top quarter is metallic, remainder white. 20-foot wire hanging below with a package of some sort suspended from it.’
It was shot down by a US Air Force F-22 stealth fighter on a joint mission with the Canadian Armed Forces following the now infamous Chinese spy balloon drama that made international news that month.
A former officer with the Royal Canadian Air Force told DailyMail.com that based on his conversations with three active-duty staff who were involved with the shootdown, the object was a balloon similar to the Chinese craft shot down days earlier.
Nonetheless, a user on Reddit said they were able to stabilize a different UFO video from over 12 years ago, claiming it is similar to the object that was shot down.

‘I recently stabilized this footage, which has drawn interesting comparisons to the “horseshoe” object reportedly shot down over the Yukon in 2023,’ the poster wrote. ‘After stabilizing the video, the object’s crescent or horseshoe shape becomes much clearer, along with its curious flight dynamics.’
They said the stabilization was done with Adobe After Effects and Premiere, software packages for editing motion graphics and video.
The video was originally posted by a YouTube channel called ‘xxxdonutzxxx’, which claimed the footage was shot over Busan, South Korea.
The reactions to the stabilized footage were all over the place, with some people showing their excitement and others showing skepticism.
‘A better way to avoid confusion would be to publish a color, high-res photo or video, as they did with that jet intercept and the Chinese spy balloon. Amazing how transparency actually works,’ one user wrote.

Another took issue with the entire idea that aliens are flying around in spacecrafts that always seem to look different in every UFO video.
They wrote: ‘Serious question; why does every UFO look different? Do aliens hate mass production? Have they never heard of cost reduction through standardization? What does that say about their economy? Are they idiots?’
Those who are more inclined to believe aliens are out there offered a number of explanations for this. There could many many different alien races with different vehicles, some said. Others thought their space crafts could probably shape shift.
Elsewhere on social media, people are claiming all of the videos on the now abandoned ‘xxxdonutzxxx’ are fake and were made by two CG artists named Nico and Marco Kaschuba.
A person posted an alleged UFO sighting in Monument Valley, Arizona, from the ‘xxxdonutzxxx’ channel to a UFO forum on April 5, 2012.
At the bottom of the post, there is a copyright that belongs to ‘Kaschuba Ufology.’
DailyMail.com approached Marco Kaschuba for comment, but he didn’t immediately respond.
