U.S. Military: spycraft was part of the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance program
A full Congress has finally received a classified briefing about the Chinese Spy balloon. The briefing was broken up into two separate sessions in Washington D.C.
First, members of the U.S. House of Representatives received the classified briefing on Capitol Hill and then Senators were briefed on the international incident.
But lawmakers say they still have serious concerns and many unanswered questions.
The confidential briefing comes on the same day that senior U.S. military and national security officials warn and have confirmed that spy balloon shot down off South Carolina’s Coast on Saturday was part of a major surveillance program run by China’s military.
The spycraft crossed the entire continental U.S. from coast to coast and was outfitted with antennas likely capable of collecting communications. The balloon was also equipped with large solar panels capable of powering an array of intelligence – collection sensors.
Officials also say that Beijing has used balloon technology over more than 40 countries across five continents.
On Thursday, FBI officials announced that most of the evidence relating to the surveillance aircraft is still underwater.
One day prior, China said the debris belongs to them.
Currently, the U.S. Navy continues to search the Atlantic Ocean for debris.
Bad weather is expected to roll in over the weekend so the Navy is racing against the clock to recover as much as they can.
