In Poland, discovery of fragments of a balloon, which could be a “spy balloon”

In Poland, not far from a large military unit, fragments of a balloon with Cyrillic inscriptions were found. How informed Polish radio station RMF FM, it cannot be excluded that it is a kind of “spy ball from the East”.

According to the radio station, the wreckage of the balloon was found in the Kalishki region of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The cornfield where the fragments were found is located four kilometers from the village of Byala Piska.

According to RMF FM, a military training ground and a large military unit are located a few kilometers away. According to the radio station, it is unclear whether this is a weather or military balloon, but preliminary research points to the first version.
