A club of amateur balloonists says one of its small balloons is 'missing in action' after last reporting its location over Alaska on Saturday.
North American Aerospace Defense Command deferred questions to the National Security Council for identification of the objects and had no additional information, according to a spokeswoman for US Northern Command and NORAD.
"We send a small transmitter, with GPS tracking and antenna on a balloon filled with Hydrogen, rising to 47,000 feet, and travelling with the speed of the Jetstream," the NIBBB website explains. The NIBBB says its members, ranging from kids to adults, are responsible for launching more than 25 balloons since the group's inception in June 2021.
"Six ended up in trees . Six balloons never said hello . We had eight balloons that traveled the United States. We had nine balloons that left the United States. We had three balloons that almost made it around the world. We have two balloons flying around the world," the group said on its website.
