…NORAD will continue to track and monitor the balloon," NORAD said in a statement. “The FAA also determined the balloon posed no hazard to flight safety.”
One U.S. official told CBS News the balloon was expected to be over Georgia by Friday night. The official said the balloon appeared to be made of Mylar and had a small cube-shaped box, about two feet long on each side, hanging below it. Its origins and purpose remain unknown.
