Independent - US military tracking high-altitude balloon flying over Western US
WBAL11 - US tracking balloon seen over southwest earlier Friday, but it does not pose a threat, NORAD says

“NORAD will continue to track and monitor the balloon,” the military agency said in a statement. “The FAA also determined the balloon posed no hazard to flight safety.”
