WASHINGTON - The United States so far has no evidence that three unidentified aerial objects shot down this month were connected to China or any foreign spying programme, the White House said on Tuesday.
Such a balloon, according to American officials, was shot down on Feb 4 over the US East Coast – an incident that triggered a heightened alert, leading to the precautionary shooting down of the subsequent three unidentified objects. Citing “pretty tough” weather and geographical conditions in all three cases, Mr Kirby said “we’re recognising that it could be some time before we locate and recover the debris.”Meanwhile, China urged the US on Tuesday to conduct a “thorough investigation” into what Beijing claims was a string of incursions into its airspace by US balloons.
