A Chinese spy balloon that floated across the near entirety of the continental United States before it was shot down off the coast of South Carolina in 2023 was carrying technology from at least five American companies, according to an explosive report released Tuesday.
The Chinese spy balloon flew all the way from Alaska to the East Coast of the continental United States before it was shot down over the Atlantic Ocean on February 3, 2023. Beijing denied that the aircraft was being used for espionage and insisted it was a weather balloon, though an investigation conducted by U.S. intelligence agencies confirmed that it was indeed used for spying.
