Currently, the Pentagon is investigating debris discovered by fishermen off the coast of Alaska to determine if it may be from a spy balloon. This development comes after a similar incident about a year ago when U.S. fighter jets intercepted a suspected Chinese spy balloon that had crossed the United States.
The Defense Department recently confirmed that the debris in question is indeed some type of balloon. The sequence of events began when commercial fishermen found unusual sea debris last week and reported it to law enforcement after taking photos. The FBI, upon reviewing the images, noted similarities to the Chinese surveillance balloon that had strayed off course the previous year and traversed the entire U.S. before being downed by the Biden administration.
