Canada announced on Thursday it is coordinating with the United States to track a spy balloon high above the earth and that it was also monitoring a “potential second incident.”

Canada’s Department of National Defence announced that the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)—a combined organization of the United States and Canada—is actively tracking a “high-altitude surveillance balloon.” The announcement reiterated what the Pentagon announced earlier on Thursday.
