On Friday, U.S. officials announced that a balloon was spotted drifting over the state of Colorado. However, they
have determined so far that it is “not a threat.”
The balloon’s origin and purpose are currently unknown.
Military aircraft have been sent to investigate the foreign balloon.
This balloon sighting comes a year after the U.S. military shot down an alleged spy balloon from China. The Chinese
balloon was reportedly carrying sophisticated spy equipment.
However, the CCP denied these claims and maintained that the large balloon was meant to “collect weather data.”
The previous balloon was shot down off of the coast of South Carolina on February 4th, 2023.
