A Chinese reconnaissance balloon has appeared in the sky over the United States.

Citizens photographed an unusual bright spot.

The Pentagon said they had been tracking the balloon for some time.

It is located above the state of Montana.

For now, the Air Force does not plan to shoot it down, Washington said.

They claim they know what the characteristics of the bubble are and for now there is no need to intervene.

The balloon is about 400 kilometers from a large military base in Montana.

It is not clear if his purpose is to scout there.

The military says the balloon does not interfere with air traffic because it flies at a much higher altitude.
