Chinese Spy Balloon Used US Tech to Spy on America: Report

The Wall Street Journal has added some detail to the Chinese spy balloon that flew all over the U.S. early this year:

The balloon used U.S. tech to spy on Americans, according to initial findings from an investigation, which looked into the debris retrieved five months ago.

American-made equipment helped it collect photos, videos, and other information, U.S. officials said, citing preliminary findings from a closely held investigation.

On top of that U.S. gear, it also carried Chinese sensors and other equipment to snap photos and video.

Beijing has insisted the balloon was a civilian airship for weather monitoring.

The balloon got to America when the wind accidentally blew it off course.
