The FBI may soon be taking possession of a suspected spy balloon that was found off the Alaskan coast by a fishing vessel. While it has not been confirmed if the object is indeed a spy balloon, officials deemed it similar enough to warrant further investigation. Commercial fishermen discovered the unknown object and, concerned by its appearance, took pictures and contacted law enforcement.
Upon reviewing the images, FBI officials decided to meet the fishing vessel upon its arrival at port this weekend. The object will then be transported to the FBI lab in Quantico, Virginia, for analysis, following standard procedures for examining surveillance balloons.
