A high altitude balloon floats over Billings, Mont., on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023. The huge, high-altitude Chinese balloon sailed across the U.S. on Friday, drawing severe Pentagon accusations of spying and sending excited or alarmed Americans outside with binoculars.

At least three Chinese spy balloons floated over U.S. air space during the Trump administration, and another previously flew during the Biden administration, but it’s unclear which government agency tracked them or whether the presidents had previously been briefed on them, defense leaders said Monday.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL "Failed to Detect?" or More Like Not Mentioned and No Action Taken. This Time it was "Seen" by Others Outside of the Military.

Thank you! What sort of historical data exists that allows you to go back and see something that wasn’t seen before?

Interesting, neither the former DNI, Ratcliff, or the former SECDEF, Mattison have any recollection of any of this.Perhaps NORAD should be disbanded if they can't properly conduct their number one task.
