As reported by The New York Post, Alaskan fishermen found what US officials will investigate as a potential spy balloon.
The commercial fishing boat is expected to bring the suspicious object to shore sometime this weekend, according to three sources.
According to the outlet, the FBI will intercept the ship upon its arrival at port and transfer the unknown object to the agency’s lab in Quantico, Virginia.
While the sources stressed that they do not know what the object is, the FBI said it resembles surveillance balloons used by foreign nations enough to look into further.
The New York Post has reached out to the FBI and US officials for comment.
