More than 320,000 people were tracking a U.S. military aircraft believed to be ferrying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to Taiwan Tuesday morning.
There were rumors that Pelosi was aboard a U.S. Air Force aircraft, SPAR19, which flew out of Malaysia Tuesday with no listed destination. The destination of the aircraft was updated to Taipei as it passed the Philippines.
