Description
Military planes have intercepted a balloon seen floating in the sky over Colorado and Utah Friday and determined it did not pose a threat.
NORAD Public Affairs said in a statement that it detected the balloon in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It was flying at an altitude varying between 43,000 and 45,000 feet.
NORAD fighters intercepted the "small" balloon over Utah and determined it was not maneuverable and did not present a threat to national security, the statement said.
