The U.S. military is tracking a high-altitude over Colorado according to U.S. officials who spoke with CBS News. Another Chinese spy ship? Is this connected to the massive cyber attacks this week on ATT, Verizon, etc? Testing response?

There is an unidentified balloon over #Colorado: https://t.co/axf0I35dc8. Why are we learning about this object only now, when it has traveled a long way over our country?

The U.S. military is tracking a high-altitude balloon over the Western United States, two U.S. officials confirmed to Fox News on Friday.
It was spotted by U.S. military aircraft and determined to not be a threat.
The origin of this balloon and its purpose are not yet known, the two officials said.
placeholderThe balloon is drifting east in the jet stream.

“In close coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected a small balloon at an altitude varying between 43,000-45,000 ft,” North American Aerospace Defense Command Public Affairs told Fox News Digital. “The balloon was intercepted by NORAD fighters over Utah, who determined it was not maneuverable and did not present a threat to national security. NORAD will continue to track and monitor the balloon. The FAA also determined the balloon posed no hazard to flight safety. NORAD remains in close coordination with the FAA to ensure flight safety.”
A year ago, a Chinese spy balloon was discovered and shot down after it flew over the U.S. for several days.

The Pentagon said in June that while the Chinese balloon had “intelligence collection capabilities,” it didn’t collect any data before it was shot down.
“We also took steps to mitigate the potential efforts of that balloon,” Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said in June.
Intelligence agencies have concluded that the spy balloon was used for spying, not weather-related issues as China had claimed.

Information captured by the spy balloon is not believed to have been successfully sent back to Beijing. It is unclear why the spy mission seemed to fail, but officials said intelligence agencies used countermeasures to prevent data collection.
The Chinese spy balloon flew from Alaska to the East Coast, where it was shot down by the military over the Atlantic Ocean on Feb. 4.
