Officials in Romania reported seeing strange balloon-like objects traversing their skies on Feb. 14, shortly after neighboring Moldova temporarily shut down its airspace after similar sightings, according to officials.

The incidents occurred around midday local time and come shortly after a number of objects, including a high-altitude Chinese surveillance balloon, were detected in American airspace and were subsequently shot down.
