US military aircraft have located a high-altitude balloon flying over
the western part of the country, according to the BBC's media partner
CBS News.

The object has been determined to be non-threatening, but its origin
and purpose is unknown.

A US official told CBS the balloon was seen earlier over Colorado,
drifting east.

A year ago, the US shot down a Chinese balloon after it crossed the
US from Alaska to the east coast.
