Pentagon releases picture of balloon
The Pentagon has released a photo taken by an American pilot who aboard a U-2 plane took a selfie showing the suspected Chinese spy balloon.
The photo was taken as the balloon hovered over American soil on February 3, according to the US Defense Headquarters. Later it was shot down. The incident led to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken canceling a planned trip to China.
The balloon is reported to have hovered at an altitude of around 18 kilometers.
