US tracks Chinese spy balloon sailing across ‘collecting sensitive information

Washington, February 3

The US has said that it was closely monitoring a Chinese spy balloon that is said to be the size of three passenger buses wafting across the sky and it has considered shooting it down but has hesitated so far fearing falling debris on civilian populations underneath.

This is not the first such sighting. It’s happened before, but the US defense department said this is the longest Chinese spy balloon that has been seen hovering over the country.
