This message reads: “Large white balloon reported in the vicinity of 2639N150W. Approximately between FL400 and FL500. Unknown altitude precision. Advise ATC if the object is seen.”
Sunday, the Oakland Oceanic Air Traffic Control Center confirmed the flying object’s existence, according to BNO News.
According to the source, this unidentified flying object was spotted at an altitude of up to 50,000 feet.
It is currently unknown who the object belongs to or what level of threat it poses to the public.
The US military has shot down multiple balloons this month.
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.
