On March 1, 2024, it was reported that a fisherman found a balloon off the coast of Alaska: (https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/01/politics/fishermen-possible-spy-balloon-fbi-alaska/index.html).

This market will resolve to “Yes” if this ‘mystery balloon’ is confirmed to be Chinese in origin by March 15, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.

Note: The balloon need not have started its journey in China, it merely needs to be confirmed that it is of Chinese origin.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements made by the government of the United States of America. Official statements that indicate that the balloon is likely or presumed to be of Chinese origin will be sufficient to resolve this market positively. A consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
