The US is tracking a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that has been spotted flying over sensitive sites in recent days.
Defence officials said they were confident the "high-altitude surveillance balloon" belonged to China. It was most recently seen above the western state of Montana.
But military leaders decided against shooting it down as there were concerns over the danger of falling debris.
China has not yet commented.
US President Joe Biden has been briefed on the situation.
The object flew over Alaska's Aleutian Islands and through Canada before appearing over the city of Billings in Montana on Wednesday, officials said.
A senior defence official speaking on condition of anonymity said the government prepared fighter jets, including F-22s, in case the White House ordered the object to be shot down.
Top military leaders, including Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin and General Mark Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, met on Wednesday to assess the threat. Mr Austin was travelling in the Philippines at the time.

It's why the chinks have been buying up farmland next to US military bases. The cunts are setting up CCP government communist spy bases right on US land. It's fucking unbelievable. As for General Millet - he's so pro Chinese he's probably on Hunter's payroll. The cunts will probably call it a weather balloon. Lloyd Austin's just a dumb planation cunt, good cotton picker in his youth but should just stay home in his rocking chair eating fried chicken and watermelon now he's too old to work in the fields.

If that's the best they have, should we even worry?

yes, this is a probe to calculate our response if we give one. im more leaning towards false flag though given that it’s on good morning America and shit screaming in your face that it’s from china. either way, this is preparing the idea of war with china into the average persons mind and is a really bad omen when you account for how volatile the world stage is at the moment.
