The North American military command Norad confirms on Saturday evening (Swedish time) that it has identified an “airborne object at high altitude” above northern Canada, Global News reports.
But Norad’s spokesperson Olivier Gallant does not want to give any comments beyond the confirmation.
According to Global News, it could be one or possibly two spy balloons, but these are unconfirmed reports.
After the United States shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon last weekend, the United States has accused China of using a global fleet of balloons to spy on countries around the world.
China initially denied the allegations about the balloon over the US but later claimed it was a civilian craft collecting data for research purposes.
