The FBI could soon take possession of what could be a spy balloon found off the Alaskan coast by a fishing vessel. While it is not confirmed if the object is indeed a spy balloon, officials deemed it similar enough to warrant an investigation.
Commercial fishermen off the coast of Alaska discovered an unknown object that raised concerns, prompting them to take photos and contact law enforcement. Upon reviewing the images, FBI officials decided to inspect the object themselves due to its resemblance to a foreign government-operated surveillance balloon.
