On Thursday, the Pentagon said it was tracking an alleged Chinese spy balloon flying across the US.
But the next day, China said the balloon was nothing more than a "civilian airship" which had deviated from its planned route, used for "mainly meteorological" purposes.
Montana, over which the balloon was flying, is home to some of the US's nuclear missile silos.
So how exactly did the saga over the spy balloon begin - and what are its implications? Jack Detsch, Foreign Policy's Pentagon and national security reporter, explains how it all started.

I thinks it's an old tactic, Everyone is looking up, when we should be looking in the crowd amongst us. As easy of, looking to your left and to your right.
The kids got it right in the old days in their childhood rhyme. "Look up, Look down, See your underwear falling down".
Or any magician would tell you, "While you're looking at one hand, you don't see what the other hand is doing".
