Spy Balloon Shot

“Chinese spy balloon flying above U.S. shot down off Carolina coast”

The Chinese spy balloon that’s been spotted over U.S. airspace in recent days has been shot down over the Carolina coastline, officials said. An operation was underway to recover debris from the balloon in the Atlantic Ocean. A livestream of the balloon showed it deflated and falling toward the water below. Earlier on Saturday, when President Biden was asked about the possibility of shooting it down, he told reporters: "We're gonna take care of it." Soon after, the Federal Aviation Administration shut down three airports in both North and South Carolina “to support the Department of Defense in a national security effort.”

The balloon, which was first spotted by civilians in Montana on Wednesday, was described by the Pentagon as a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon. China’s Foreign Ministry, however, claimed it was being used for weather research and had blown off course.

Said to be around the size of two to three buses, the balloon — floating at an altitude of around 60,000 feet — flew over Canada and Alaska’s Aleutian Islands before being spotted in the continental United States. It then made its way eastward, being spotted across the country before it was shot down on Saturday afternoon.
