A sec­ond Chi­nese spy bal­loon has been spot­ted, this time in the skies over Latin Amer­i­ca, ac­cord­ing to the Pen­ta­gon.

It is un­clear ex­act­ly which coun­try in the re­gion the bal­loon is hov­er­ing over but it does not ap­pear as if it is head­ed to­wards the Unit­ed States, ac­cord­ing to CNN.

“We are see­ing re­ports of a bal­loon tran­sit­ing Latin Amer­i­ca. We now as­sess it is an­oth­er Chi­nese sur­veil­lance bal­loon,” Pen­ta­gon press sec­re­tary Brig Gen Patrick Ry­der said in a state­ment to the news net­work.

The lat­est de­vel­op­ment came a day af­ter US of­fi­cials ad­mit­ted it was track­ing the spy bal­loon across the coun­try and said it is ex­pect­ed to re­main in US air­space for the next few days.

The Pen­ta­gon has said it does not cur­rent­ly pose a threat and that it ad­vised the White House to not shoot it down, de­spite F-22 fight­er jets be­ing scram­bled over Mon­tana when it was spot­ted on Wednes­day.

The bal­loon was filmed and pho­tographed by res­i­dents of Billings, Mon­tana, a lit­tle over 200 miles from a nu­clear mis­sile si­lo field at Malm­strom Air Force Base.

US Sec­re­tary of State Antony Blinken has al­so post­poned his trip to Chi­na this week­end be­cause of the in­ci­dent.

“The Chi­nese side re­grets the un­in­tend­ed en­try of the air­ship in­to US air­space due to force ma­jeure,” the Chi­nese for­eign min­istry said in a state­ment, us­ing a le­gal term used to de­scribe events be­yond one’s con­trol.

The bal­loon was at an al­ti­tude of around 60,000 ft above the US and mov­ing east on Fri­day, said Brig Gen Pat Ry­der.
