Read our privacy policy US intelligence agencies were reportedly aware of four extra Chinese spy balloons, according to leaked top-secret data from Pentagon. The data leaked to a Discord chatroom by Jack Teixeira, a member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, reveals that the US intelligence knew of at least four Chinese spy balloons that traversed the US airspace. According to a report by the Washington Post, a Chinese spy balloon that attracted national attention earlier this year was one of at least three other balloons documented by the United States. The document includes an image that seems to connect Bulger-21 to one of six Chinese companies that the US sanctioned in February for supporting the Chinese government’s spy balloon program, the Post reported.
