Pentagon does not think balloon that flew near Hawaii is spycraft: sources Balloon spotted near Hawaii is currently flying over international waters, drifting toward Mexico
Pentagon officials believe the unmanned balloon aircraft spotted near the Hawaiian islands is a weather instrument and not a spycraft, two senior defense officials told Fox News.
The government has been tracking the balloon since it appeared last week, according to officials familiar with the situation. The balloon is still being monitored after passing through airspace near Hawaii.
“Seems to be a weather balloon, no Signals coming from it. Not being steered,” a senior U.S. defense official told Fox News.
