On February 3, “the National Air Defense System detected an object above 55,000 feet, which entered Colombian airspace in the northern sector of the country, moving at an average speed of 25 knots, identifying characteristics similar to those of a balloon,” he said.

The Colombian Air Force added that it is carrying out “the pertinent investigations and coordination with different countries and institutions to establish the origin of the object.”
A similar sighting was reported in Costa Rica. Even Esteban Carranza, a lawyer from that country, posted a video of the balloon on Twitter, CNN reported.
A US Defense Department spokesman said on Friday that a second Chinese “surveillance” balloon had been seen flying over Latin America, a day after another similar craft was detected in
United States airspace. However, he did not provide details about the location of the artifact or where it was going.
Without giving details, Canada also spoke Friday of “a possible second incident.”
