The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) has confirmed that a second Chinese spy balloon is operating in the skies above the Americas amid concerns over the first craft maneuvering above Montana.
Late Friday, the Pentagon released a statement confirming that the second balloon, like the first, is a βChinese surveillanceβ airship.
βWe are seeing reports of a balloon transiting Latin America,β Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement.
βWe now assess it is another Chinese surveillance balloon.β
Ryder revealed Friday that the spy balloon is currently operating over the United States.
