Another “large white balloon” has been spotted hovering over Hawaii. This news comes just a few days after United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with China’s top diplomat Wang Yi, in the first face-to-face meeting between high-ranking U.S. and Chinese officials since the U.S. military downed an alleged Chinese spy balloon earlier this month.
And one week after, other unidentified objects were shot down, including what some believe to be a $12 hobbyist balloon.
Nobody knows who owns this balloon or if the object is a threat.
“Subsequent ACARS (Aircraft Communications, Addressing, and Reporting System) messages show aircraft in the area (which is normally quite busy as it sits on the route from the U.S. west coast to Hawaii) acknowledging the alert, which includes a request to report back if they spot any such object,” according to a report by The Drive.
The Drive further reported a large white balloon was spotted by commercial pilots about 600 miles east of the Hawaiian Islands on Monday. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has notified pilots in the area about the sightings of a balloon traveling at an altitude of 40,000 and 50,000 feet.

Putting this potential balloon at 45k feet (avg of the reported height between FL400-500) and running NOAA's HYSPLIT model shows a very interesting future trajectory over the next 48 hours for an object being steered by the wind. Right over Hawaii. https://t.co/WZPqlSQaPC pic.twitter.com/OjNyoWnmpi

This may just be another coincidence too (this month seems to be full of them) but the balloon looks exactly like the one the U.S. military shot down off the coast of South Carolina:

Can they not be bothered to even use new images?

There were reports a Navy P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft was heading in the general direction of the ballon though there’s no confirmation if that’s the intended target, according to a report by ZeroHedge.
I can’t say it’s related, but a BUPERS SDC Dallas Boeing P-8 “SHINR02” launched from Honolulu around 0230 Zulu and went “Due Regard” flying in the direction of the reported balloon 🤔🤷🏻♂️ H/T @nameyousir and @Stalsomething for the heads up.

China has already warned the U.S. that they will face consequences if the “spy balloon” propaganda continues. It looks like the rulers of the U.S. have no intention of dropping it either and are continuing to panic the masses with what appear to be recycled images of the last balloon.
