OUR Chase Doak was about to leave work when he noticed something moving in the sky – he was puzzled and at first thought it might be a star or even UFO.

It turned out one Spy balloon flying high above United States.

Pentagon reported that the spy ball, presumably Chinese flew over the country for several days.

From her side China he announced that he was “checking” the situation.

Doak’s curiosity was awakened when the airport billings her Montana ordered the planes to stay on the ground and mobilize the military, including F-22 fightersif the president Joe Biden ordered to shoot down the balloon.

“Just a few minutes before, I had seen some news about airspace restrictions here in Billings, so I thought it was a little suspicious,” he told Reuters. He added: “I was looking out the window as usual and I happened to see him out of the corner of my eye – at first I thought it was a star, but it was kind of crazy, since it was daytime and when I looked at him, he was too great to see how to become a star.”

On the way to Billings Doak took pictures of the hot air balloon – described by a US defense expert as size of three buses who flew high.

“I won’t lie. At first I thought it was a #ufo. Then I thought it was @elonmusk in the Wizard of Oz cosplay script. But it was just an unexpected Chinese spy balloon!” Doak wrote on Twitter.
