It’s As If They’ve Never Seen Yellow Balloons Before

Or maybe it shows just how rarely New Yorkers actually go to Times Square.

Local media and the NYPD received several calls throughout the afternoon.

However, as CBS 2 cameras showed, the objects appeared to be yellow balloons, although there has been no official confirmation from the NYPD. On the streets below there was a lot of intrigue about the mystery going on up above.

I don’t know that you need the police to confirm that — I hope they would have better things to do.
