Chinese Spy Balloon Able To Transmit Info

USA – A CNN source says, the Chinese spy balloon that transited the U.S. earlier this year was able to capture imagery and collect some signals intelligence from U.S. military sites.

The source said the balloon was able to transmit information back to Beijing in real time, and that the U.S. government still does not know for sure whether the Chinese government could wipe the balloon’s data as it received it.

The U.S. intelligence community last year developed a method of tracking what it says is a fleet of these Chinese balloons operating across the globe, controlled by the Chinese military.
