ND residents spot balloon-like object floating across the state
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - North Dakotans Sunday spotted an unusual sight in the evening sky.
A Bismarck resident first confirmed spotting a bright, circular object floating above Bismarck just after 6 p.m.
Your News Leader confirmed with the National Weather Service in Bismarck it is not one of its balloons.
FlightAware, a flight tracker website, reports the object is a part of “Project Loon,” which was a company that provided rural internet using balloons.
Facebook commenters have posted about a sighting in Minot as recently as Monday night around 8 p.m.

However, these speculations have not been confirmed.
