WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - A Chinese spy balloon over
the United States has changed course and is now floating
eastward at about 60,000 feet above the central part of country,
the Pentagon said on Friday, adding it would likely be over the
United States for a few more days.
Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder declined to
specify where precisely the balloon was positioned over the
United States, saying he didn't want to get into an "hour by
hour" cycle of updates. He said people could look up into the
sky if they wanted.
He added the balloon posed no risk to people on the ground.
