Chinese Spy Balloon Moving East, Not A Threat To Those On The Ground: DOD

The suspected surveillance balloon from China is expected to remain in American airspace for "a few days," the Department of Defense said. Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said that while U.S. officials will continue to monitor the balloon, "We currently assess that the balloon does not present a military of physical threat to people on the ground at this time."
