    After the dramatic shoot down of a Chinese airship off the South Carolina coast, the Defense Department notified Congress of previous incursions of U.S. airspace by Beijing during Donald's Trump presidency and earlier in the Biden administration, with sightings in Texas, Florida, Hawaii and Guam, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) told The Washington Post on Sunday. At least two such incidents were reported near or over Florida, and there was at least one each in the other three locations, Waltz said.

    The anonymous official says, "Chinese balloons briefly transited the continental United States at least three times during the prior administration."



    Mr Anonymous always comes out when they need to deflect from failing Biden to Trump
    Please define briefly?? Is it the same standard as Bidens balloon traveling days across every missile silo and on the news all day

    Chinese spy balloon crashed off Hawaii coast 4 months ago, US officials say
    At least one balloon flew over parts of Texas and Florida during Trump administration, despite former president saying it never happened

    I think we can order more from temu and get free shipping too!

  8. We are spying on them too.... you all need to quit clutching pearls over trump and biden and the balloons...you all dont give a shit about the balloon except an argument to make the other guy look bad. We have been spying on each other since the 1940s and now its all Biden and Trump's fault haha. The only good thing about it happening under both is people looking stupid l ike Rubio.

    Better Chinese send a shitty balloon then have a bunch of moles in the government spying back...maybe they do.

    Strange ....

    Why did the US declare it was a Chinese balloon so soon?

    The US could have kept quiet.
    Then destroy the unknown origin balloon with some not-so-destructive, low-tech weapon
    rather than a missile.
    A missile could have destroyed all the balloon sensitive parts.
    Then retrieve the unknown origin balloon.
    Then announce it to the whole world.

    It is perfectly safe to shoot down an unknown-origin balloon.
    There wouldn't be any political repercussions.


    Do note that China did not notify the US that China balloon
    strayed into the US airspace.
    And there was no 'Made-in-China' sign on the balloon.
    And it did not radiate 'Made-in-China' signal.
