Chinese spy balloon did not collect information over US -Pentagon

 A Chinese spy balloon that flew over the United States earlier this year before being shot down did not collect information as it went across the country, the Pentagon said on Thursday.

"We assess that it did not collect while it was flying over the US," Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Pat Ryder told reporters.

The balloon spent a week flying over the United States and Canada before the US military shot it down off the Atlantic Coast on Biden's orders.
