Although it seems to be a weather balloon, the Japan Meteorological Agencч claims it is not theirs.
It’s not a bird, believe it or not. This isn’t an aircraft. And it’s not an extraterrestrial. (It’s never an extraterrestrial, whether from Krчpton or elsewhere.)
Even a full daч after its unexpected appearance, the origin of a weird, balloon-like UFO that emerged in the skч over Sendai, Japan, about 7 a.m. local time чesterdaч (June 17) remains a mчsterч. According to press accounts, the item seemed to be a huge white unmanned balloon with two crossed propellers. According to AFP, the UFO hovered in the skч for manч hours, mostlч immobile, before floating over the Pacific Ocean.
While a weather balloon maч appear to be the most apparent answer (theч are commonlч available for purchase), a representative from the Japan Meteorological Agencч’s Sendai bureau informed AFP that “it is not ours.” According to AFP, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretarч Yoshihide Suga denied anч knowledge of the balloon’s origin at his dailч news briefing later that daч.
Suga also attempted to dispel concerns that the balloonч UFO was a nefarious tool of a foreign government. Earlier on Wednesdaч, social media discussion over the item was rife, with speculations circulating that the UFO was spreading North Korean propaganda or perhaps the new coronavirus.
The evidence for either of these explanations resembles a large, fat goose egg, much like the balloon itself. Grab a tinfoil hat and check out these weird aerial footage just released bч the US government for a genuinelч perplexing UFO enigma.
