DOD refusing to investigate balloon spotted flying over Montana
Fox News reports "Defense officials have decided not to investigate an incident in which a balloon was seen flying across eastern Montana on Sunday night.
U.S. Rep. Matt Rosendale, a Republican who represents the area where the balloon was spotted, said several people in Dawson County were tracking a balloon flying across eastern Montana at 57,000 feet.
He immediately contacted the Department of Defense and was told the agency was aware of the incident and choose not to investigate because of the size of the balloon and the "low probability" that it was conducting any surveillance, he said.
"If the spy balloon in February taught us anything, it’s that Montanans are vigilant and want to know what is flying over our state and will expose the Biden Administration for not protecting us," Rosendale said in a statement."
