Chinese Balloon Used US Technology To Spy On Americans

The Chinese spy balloon that flew over the United States earlier this year utilized American technology to collect audio-visual data.

According to US sources, the balloon carried commercially accessible US technology as well as more specialized Chinese sensors and other equipment to take images, video, and other information to transfer to China.

According to the research, the facts corroborate the conclusion that the drone was designed for spying rather than weather observation, as China stated.

However, the balloon did not appear to transmit data from its eight-day flight over Alaska, Canada, and some other contiguous US states to China.

A request for comment from the White House and the Federal Bureau of Investigation was not immediately returned.

The US shot down the balloon that had flown over key military locations in February, causing a diplomatic crisis.
