US shoots down Chinese spy balloon off East Coast!
- The US military has shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon after it drifted off the East Coast near the Carolinas, a US official said
- The balloon was first spotted over the continental US several days ago, according to the Pentagon, but officials deemed it too dangerous to shoot down over land.
- US officials say the balloon was being used for surveillance, rejecting China's claim that it was a civilian research aircraft. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponed a trip to China in response to the sightings.
- Meanwhile, another Chinese spy balloon has been spotted over Latin America, the Pentagon said Friday evening.
