Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to speak on Monday in Whitehorse, Yukon during a trip to the territory as concerns continue to mount over a slew of unidentified flying objects being spotted over various parts of North America in the past two weeks.

Trudeau is in Yukon to participate in the Council of Yukon First Nations' 50th-anniversary celebration with community leaders.

His trip to the Yukon comes as another object was shot down over Lake Huron by the U.S. military, which is the fourth such downing of an object in the past week over American and Canadian airspace.

A day prior to that, on Saturday, the Canadian and American militaries worked together to bring down a third object that had been detected over Yukon.

"It represented a reasonable threat to civilian aircraft, so I gave the order to take it down. Canadian and American fighter jets were scrambled and an American F-22 successfully shot down the object," Trudeau said in a press conference on Sunday.

Trudeau added that "recovery teams are on the ground looking to find and analyze the object."
