United States: A large, unidentified white balloon was spotted on Monday approximately 500 miles to the east of Honolulu, Hawaii, with an estimated altitude between 40,000 and 50,000 feet. Several commercial flights flying over the region reported its presence via ACARS, according to sources.
No official response from United States
This sighting comes just days after US officials claimed that a Chinese “spy” balloon that was previously downed and targeting Hawaii was blown off course. Despite this claim, there has been no confirmation from Air Traffic Control or other US officials regarding the current balloon sighting.
Multiple pilots have reported seeing the mysterious object, raising questions about its origin and potential risk to the public. The US military has recently intercepted and shot down several balloons, adding to the heightened concern surrounding this latest sighting. The identity and purpose of the balloon remain unknown, leaving many to speculate about its possible implications.
