The sighting of large white balloons over Denver The heavens sent speculation about a foreign spacecraft flying over the Mile High City. This prompted Denver-based news channel KDVR to report on the object, showing clear, enlarged photos of the balloon flying over the Mile High City.
However, was it an alien spaceship that was invading the Colorado town? Definitely not.
According to a report from The Hill, the balloon was launched by Companies with a vision of the worlda space exploration and technology company, added the report, which was launched in Arizona last Saturday to study solar radiation.
“This is a more sophisticated system that allows us to fly and navigate in the stratosphere for days, weeks and months at a time,” Phil Wocken, the marketing executive for World View Enterprises, told The Hill. He added that the balloon “carries a payload for NASA.”
However, since the sighting of Chinese balloons over the American sky in February 2023, suspicions about the sighting of such objects continue. The New York Post reported that while Denver meteorologist Chris Bianchi said on X that the balloon had nothing to do with aliens, people were not willing to believe it.
Some of them were even fueling conspiracy theories that the explanation that the balloon does not belong to aliens was something that had been invented to make them believe that.
Chinese spy balloons fly over US
In February 2023, a high-altitude balloon from China flew over North American airspace, including Alaska, western Canada, and the continental United States. The balloon was first detected on January 28 and was shot down by the US Air Force on February 4 off the coast of South Carolina. The US government identified the balloon as a surveillance device, although China claimed it was a civilian airship used primarily for meteorological purposes.
