A plane-shaped balloon caused a major stir in India when it was spotted drifting in the skies over multiple states, sparking curiosity and panic among onlookers. The balloon, which resembled a small aircraft, was first seen in the northern regions before making its way across several cities.
Many residents, startled by the sight, initially thought it was an actual aircraft in distress. Reports quickly flooded social media, with people sharing photos and videos of the strange floating object. Authorities were immediately alerted, and air traffic control officials were involved in investigating the balloon’s flight path.
Experts later confirmed that the balloon was part of a promotional event for a new airline’s upcoming campaign. The company had used the eye-catching design to draw attention, but the stunt inadvertently caused confusion among the public. The balloon’s release had not been fully coordinated with air safety protocols, leading to a temporary safety concern in some areas.
While the incident was resolved without any harm, the plane-shaped balloon has continued to dominate headlines, with many questioning the safety and responsibility of such publicity stunts. Aviation authorities have vowed to review regulations on aerial promotional activities to avoid similar situations in the future.
