US Failed To Detect Four Previous Chinese ‘Spy Balloons’, Top General Says
On Monday, the US imposed a temporary security zone in waters off South Carolina as the military tries to recover the wreckage of a suspected Chinese spy balloon that was shot down late last week. | General Glen VanHerck, commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command and US Northern Command, has confirmed that Chinese spy balloons briefly flew over America at least three times under President Donald Trump, and once previously during the Biden administration. 💬 I will tell you that we did not detect those threats, and that's a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out,” VanHerck told a news briefing, declining to elaborate on the location of the previous balloons. ● He added that US intelligence identified the previous flights after they occurred through what the General described as "additional means of collection". VanHerck offered no further details on whether that might be cyber espionage, telephone intercepts or human sources.
