A Chinese spy balloon has changed course and is now floating eastward at about 60,000 feet (18,300 meters) over the central United States, demonstrating a capability to maneuver, the U.S. military said on Friday, in the latest twist to a spying saga that led U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to postpone a visit to China.
The Pentagon expects the balloon to continue traveling over U.S. airspace for a few more days, Ryder said, declining to speculate on what options the U.S. military might develop in that time as speculation swirled about whether Biden could still order the balloon be destroyed or perhaps captured.
"The public certainly has the ability to look up in the sky and see where the balloon is," Ryder said. "I condemn any attempts the Chinese make to spy on Americans. President Biden must protect the sovereignty of the U.S.," Marshall posted on Twitter.He spoke amid growing political fallout over the Chinese balloon's presence over the United States.
