Pentagon tracking Chinese 'spy balloon' flying over US

The Telegraph  

The Pentagon is tracking a Chinese surveillance balloon spotted hovering over continental America, on the eve of the most high-level visit to Beijing by US officials in years. A senior defence official told reporters that the US believes Beijing is using the high-altitude spy balloon to fly over sensitive sites and collect information. "Clearly the intent of this balloon is for surveillance," the official told reporters on Thursday. Separately, Canada's defence ministry also said a "high-altitude surveillance balloon" was detected and that it was monitoring a "potential second incident", without giving further details, adding that it was in frequent contact with the US.
