The object flew over Hawaii, staying away from “sensitive areas.” Now the balloon is slowly flying over the Pacific Ocean towards Mexico.
You can tell the Pentagon has been watching him since late last week. The US military concluded that the balloon did not pose a threat to aircraft or national security and was not transmitting any signals.
Based on these observations, the US Secretary of Defense agreed with the military command’s recommendation not to take any action against the ball, the US military department said, reports RIA Novosti.
Recall that in early February, US air defense forces discovered a high-altitude balloon in the northern United States that the military said could perform reconnaissance functions. Subsequently, it turned out that the globe belongs to China. China denies the intelligence functions of the device. Beijing said the balloon was a weather probe and entered US airspace by accident. This object was shot down by the American side.
