Sunday, the Oakland Oceanic Air Traffic Control Center confirmed the flying object’s existence, according to BNO News.

It is currently unknown who the object belongs to or what level of threat it poses to the public.

Sky News reported that a suspected Chinese spy balloon was shot down off the coast of South Carolina on February 4.
Additionally, suspicious flying objects were shot at on February 11 and February 12.
After the crash, remnants of the balloon were taken, and it is believed that Hawaii and Guam were their intended destinations, but it was taken off course.
