Suspected Spy Balloon Found Off Alaska Coast

The FBI to investigate the object, reminiscent of previous surveillance incidents, amid heightened US-China tensions.

A suspected spy balloon was discovered off the coast of Alaska by fishermen, sparking concerns of foreign surveillance.
The FBI is set to examine the object, which shares similarities with previous surveillance balloons, to determine its origins and potential implications.
This incident comes a year after a Chinese spy balloon was shot down by the US, raising tensions between the US and China.
Intelligence officials previously found that a similar balloon had used a US internet service provider for data transmissions back to China.
The discovery could exacerbate already strained international relations, especially if confirmed to be a foreign-owned spy device.
