U.S. Confirms Chinese Spy Balloon Entered U.S. Airspace from South Coast of China

U.S. intelligence officials have confirmed that the spy balloon shot down earlier this month was launched from the south coast of China and drifted east towards Guam and Hawaii before entering U.S. airspace. The State Department has released a statement that the balloon contained unspecified items, and the Washington Post is now examining the possibility that the People's Liberation Army simply lost control of the balloon. The incident has caused a scramble of jet fighters over Canada and the far North of the United States, and U.S. officials are continuing to investigate.
