US intel assesses Chinese spy balloons transited US several times, went 'undetected': Senior admin official
Story by Brooke Singman • Yesterday 12:59 PM
 
U.S. intelligence assesses that Chinese government surveillance balloons have transited the continental United States several times but went "undetected," a senior administration official told Fox News Digital.
 
A defense official on Saturday said Chinese spy balloons briefly traveled over the United States at least three times during the Trump administration.
 
Former President Trump and a number of his top national security and defense officials refuted Biden administration officials' claims that Chinese surveillance balloons briefly transited the continental United States during the Trump administration, telling Fox News Digital that it "never happened."

But on Sunday, a senior administration official told Fox News Digital that "U.S. intelligence, not the Biden administration" assesses that "PRC government surveillance balloons transited the continental U.S. briefly at least three times during the prior administration and once that we know of at the beginning of this administration, but never for this duration of time."

"They went undetected," the official told Fox News Digital.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Trillions of dollars are spent on intelligence, and it can't locate a huge balloon? :wtf:
