US Army shoots down suspected Chinese spy balloon in Atlantic Ocean

the army of U.S took it down this Saturday afternoon, the 4th, at Atlantic Ocean, the alleged Chinese spy balloon that has been flying over US airspace for days and which has caused three airports to be closed. According to local media, the unmanned object was shot down on the east coast. The action came hours after President Joe Biden promised to “take care” of the alleged spying device. Fox News and CNN reported the raid after three airports in the US Southeast were temporarily closed amid what the Federal Aviation Administration called a “national security effort.” The Federal Aviation Administration and Coast Guard worked to clear the airspace and water below the balloon as it reached the ocean. After the balloon was shot down, an operation was underway in US territorial waters in the Atlantic Ocean to recover the wreckage of the balloon, which was flying at about 60,000 feet and was estimated to be the size of three school buses. The alleged spy balloon has been in US airspace for days and has increased tension between the two countries. China, which confirmed that the device belongs to them, said that it was a scientific research and that the balloon had deviated from its route because of the wind, a position that was not accepted by Washington, which said it was an object of espionage. . This Saturday morning, a new balloon was sighted in the sky. Initially, the US had chosen not to shoot down to protect the population, but today they changed their minds and put an end to the balloon.
