BREAKING: Billings, Montana @MMtTreasures just captured video moments after seeing a jet “go by so fast and then an explosion in the sky.” Was it the #ChinaBalloon? Nothing from the @PentagonPresSec or if the balloon was still in the area today. pic.twitter.com/WfckzMRGcI

It’s not clear what was hit there. The balloon that had been over Billings was last spotted in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
Our Fox colleague @madisonscarpino has sighted the alleged Chinese spy balloon over Cape Girardeu, Missouri. We are receiving a live feed of the spy balloon which is expected to exit the East Cost of the US in the next 60 hours based on current models. https://t.co/HQKyKoOyza

There had been another reported, Chinese balloon over Canada. Perhaps that’s that second balloon.
