Although the US has protested China’s alleged disguising of a spy balloon as a weather balloon, for decades the Pentagon did just that as part of a program dating to the 1950s that included flights over the People’s Republic of China (PRC). | US officials have claimed the Chinese high-altitude balloon shot down off the US Atlantic coast last weekend carried communications-monitoring equipment and was part of a globe-spanning program to spy on other nations. Beijing has rejected the accusations, saying it was a civilian scientific balloon that researchers lost control over. ● The truth about the issue remains to be seen, since the Americans have provided no evidence to support their claims as of yet. However, there is a considerable volume of evidence showing that the Pentagon ran an identical program during the Cold War and has poured billions in recent years into new balloon projects.
