Pentagon Says Chinese Spy Balloon Did Not Collect Intelligence As It Flew Over The U.S. Early This Year
ABC News: Chinese spy balloon didn’t collect intelligence as it flew over US: Pentagon
The vessel passed over sensitive military sites before being downed in February.
The Chinese spy balloon that was shot down over the Atlantic Ocean in early February was built, at least partly, using American off-the-shelf parts, a U.S. official has confirmed to ABC News.
The official could not say whether any of the American gear was sold illicitly to China but said determining whether any of it came from illegal trade was a topic of serious concern among officials since some items -- like chips -- are forbidden to sell to certain markets.
Later Thursday, Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said that the balloon not only did not transmit data back to China -- it never collected any.
