Possible Spy Balloon Over Willow Springs

Willow Springs, Ca (OFGTN) Residents of Willow Springs have reported sighting of this balloon which looks remarkably like the flag of Japan. This has led to wild speculation that it may be somehow a spy balloon. 

As a precaution the government has installed a anti-balloon tower to attract and snarl passing balloons. So far it has caught over a hundred balloons in 2 days.
