Date:

“We correctly took it down, and I favor to praise our aviators who did it,” President Joe Biden was once quoted via Reuters as saying.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin first introduced the shootdown, pronouncing the balloon used to be being used via China “in an try to surveil strategic websites in the continental United States.”

“This afternoon, at the course of President Biden, U.S. fighter plane assigned to USNORTHCOM efficaciously added down the high-altitude surveillance balloon launched via and belonging to the PRC over the water off the South Carolina coast,” Austin said.

Travis Huffstetler, a neighborhood photographer in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, informed CNN he witnessed the US navy shoot down the suspected Chinese secret agent balloon on Saturday afternoon. Twitter person Devon Pace captured video of the takedown of a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon off the coast of the Carolinas.

Navy assets and Coast Guard property are on standby if required for any feasible recuperation efforts, CNN reported. The balloon was once first noticed in the sky over Montana earlier this week and traveled throughout the center of the country.
