Reports confirm that a Chinese spy balloon that traversed the US earlier this year was able to capture imagery and collect signals intelligence from US military sites. According to a source familiar with the matter speaking to CNN, the balloon had the capability to transmit real-time information back to Beijing, raising concerns about potential intelligence gathered that the US may still be unaware of.
Despite the balloon’s abilities, the intelligence community remains relatively unfazed, considering the data collected not much more advanced than what Chinese satellites could gather from similar locations. US officials were aware of the balloon’s path and managed to safeguard sensitive sites and censor signals before being intercepted.
The FBI is currently examining the balloon to determine its operational details. Insights into the software algorithms, power source, and design are being analyzed. The US intelligence community had previously developed methods to track a fleet of Chinese balloons under military control globally.
The incident involving the Chinese spy balloon crossing over US airspace and subsequently being shot down off the East Coast in February heightened tensions between the US and China. The collection of signals intelligence continues to be a topic of concern, especially given reports of similar balloons conducting missions over several continents in recent years.
While China claims the balloon was a weather balloon off course, evidence suggests otherwise as it potentially engaged in surveillance activities over sensitive military locations.
