A tantalizing image of a UFO shot down by the US Air Force last year has left public speculation rife over what the horseshoe-shaped white visage actually depicts.

Some have compared it to the silvery, chevron-shaped crafts first reported by pilot Kenneth Arnold in 1947 — the historic sighting that launched the modern era of ‘flying saucer’ cases.

Others have compared it ominously to the alien ‘engineer’ spacecraft in the Ridley Scott’s 2012 sci-fi horror film ‘Prometheus.’

But DailyMail.com has spoken to a former officer with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), who has discussed the case with three active-duty members of the operational staff directly involved in this February 11, 2023 UFO shootdown.
