It's a bird, it's a plane...it's a PIA balloon?

In a bizarre turn of events, authorities in Indian-Occupied Kashmir claim to have seized a plane-shaped balloon bearing the name of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), Indian news agency ANI reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, a balloon featuring the name, logo and colours of Pakistan's national flag-carrier was found in Sotra Chak village of Hiranagar sector on Tuesday evening. The matter is now under police investigation — and Twitter is having a ball.

It all started when comedian Ali Gul Pir wanted to #freetheballoon.

A new investigation

Classic

Unbelievable

Points were raised

And secrets revealed
