A mysterious object floating over Hawaii prompted the U.S. military to scramble fighter jets to investigate, authorities reported.
The object seen over Kauai on Monday, Feb. 14, appeared to be an unmanned balloon with no identification markings, Maj. Gen. Kenneth Hara, Hawaii’s adjutant general, said in a series of Twitter posts.
Local officials and onlookers identified the fighter jets at F-22s, The Drive reported. Residents said the bright white object appeared to be stationary, Hawaii News Now reported.
