3rd unidentified object shot down, this time over Canada - P17

During WW2 didn’t the Japanese try some stunt where they sent thousands of balloons towards the US west coast with small bombs or even anthrax ??! Don’ think any made it.
Fu-go balloon bombs. Some 9,300 were launched, with 300 observed over Canada and the United States. One even led to the death of 6 civilians in Oregon in May 1945. Their biological threat was subsequently ruled out; their threat was more incendiary and likely to spark forest fires.
 
Reckon it’s China testing some tech …..prior to giving a slap to Taiwan

Edit: didn’t the US recently put an embargo on US made semi conductor exports to China?
