Last Thursday evening, the Pentagon stated that it had been following a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon at high altitude over the United States for several days. The balloon’s journey has passed over sensitive locations to gather information, according to senior defense sources.
Now ABC News reports that the United States is considering shooting down the balloon. A source states that they are waiting for the balloon to be over the sea – in order to then possibly shoot it down. However, they want to avoid it happening over international waters and thereby provoking an international incident
