SPOKANE, Wash. — People enjoying some time outdoors after their Thanksgiving feast may notice a strange thing in the sky.
What is it exactly?
It's likely a weather balloon for the National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service in Spokane tweeted just before 4 p.m. on Thanksgiving that one of its weather balloons had descended to about 40,000 feat, or about 8 miles, off the ground and could be visible to eagle-eyed onlookers in Spokane.
"Our weather balloon is now [about] 40K feet in altitude, and has drifted back overhead," the tweet reads.
The weather service also tweeted the map below showings its trajectory. The tweet didn't say how long the balloon would be visible.
