The National Weather Service of Kansas City, Missouri, has reported that a large balloon has been spotted over the area, further confirming it is not theirs. USAF aircraft up and active over the area. This positioning falls in line with the suspected travel route of the Chinese balloon that was spotted in Montana yesterday. The Pentagon has not confirmed the developed, but has also said it would not be providing regular updates on the balloon’s location
We have had several reports across northwest MO of a large balloon visible on the horizon. It is now visible from our office in Pleasant Hill and the KC Metro. We have confirmed that it is not an NWS weather balloon. pic.twitter.com/CKQWOw7God
