Second Chinese Spy Balloon found flying over Latin America: Pentagon

The Pentagon announced Friday evening (local time) that another Chinese spy balloon had been discovered floating over Latin America, a day after US officials claimed they were tracking a similar surveillance balloon that was making its way through US territory.

“We are seeing reports of a balloon transiting Latin America. We now assess it is another Chinese surveillance balloon,” press secretary Brigadier General Patrick Ryder said in a statement to CNN. While it was unclear on exactly where the balloon was over Latin America – a US official told CNN that it does not appear to be currently heading to the United States.
