Remember the #chineseballoon incident?
Seven months later the top US general admits this:
"The intelligence community, their assessment – and it's a high-confidence assessment – [is] that there was no intelligence collection by that balloon,"
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-bizarre-secret-behind-chinas-spy-balloon/

But of course everyone now believes that it was Chinese aggression by way of spying, and that belief will not be corrected in the short term, because this admission won't make the headlines.

Now that the #ChineseBalloon is making some headlines again, is good to share what I wrote back in march on Weekly Balloon News # 11 - Chinese balloon edition

What kind of balloon it was? • Not an isolated incident, and not a "fleet" of spy balloons • Previous sightings. Connecting the dots • The first downing using missiles? Yes and No • The "secret" Chinese balloon base • Science on the edge of reality • The "weather balloon" explanation 70 years later

More on the Chinese Spy balloon affair in a recent article in the NYT.

According to US intelligence sources:

- Balloon was originally aimed at U.S. military bases in Guam & Hawaii but was blown off course

- People’s Liberation Army had kept Mr. Xi Jinping in the dark until the balloon was over the US. When he realized that it affected planned talks with Blinken, he berated senior generals for failing to tell him that balloon had gone astray

"China appears to have suspended its surveillance balloon program following a major diplomatic incident earlier this year, when one of the country’s high-altitude spy balloons transited the United States, multiple sources familiar with US intelligence assessments told CNN."

"The FBI concluded its analysis of the balloon’s remnants earlier this year, and the Pentagon announced in June that the US government assessed that the balloon did not collect intelligence while flying over the country."

Honestly imo the second quote, (read the article for more), that is a lot of behind covering going on. On both China and the US side. They also still refuse to release information about the 2 other shoot downs.
