Looks like balloons over Florida and Hawaii during Trumps time in office. I’m sure more information will come out. Glad they’re getting this all cleared up and we are getting information. Trump should want to know as well since he was president at the time.

US Rep. Mike Turner
@RepMikeTurner
I have been previously briefed on incursions into US airspace by Chinese surveillance balloons. This has been and continues to be very troubling. I remain concerned that the Biden Administration is not taking this seriously and is empowering China’s increasing threat to the USA.

well cased closed. slam dunk. not so fast ...
"The administration already admitted, which I've been briefed on, that China has done this before in the continental U.S. during this president's tenure."

what Turner really said. where's the Trump reference? seems to be missing. he's talking about a so-called prior incursion during Biden's admin.
CNN.
BAAHHHAAAAAAAAA
CNN has less credibility than China claiming it was a "weather balloon".
the narrative here is full of holes. "unnamed senior official".
here's another
"A US military intelligence report from last year that focused on China’s use of high-altitude balloons mentioned sightings in Hawaii and Florida during the Trump presidency, according to an excerpt of the report reviewed by CNN."
and CNN has top secret clearance to see this report?
son, you being played. but let me help you out here. here's why all this "prior incidents" are being fabricated and "leaked" to the press (actually just made up by the press) ....
i give you .. Biden the Savior of America from China!

White House: Improved surveillance caught Chinese balloon
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials said Monday that improvements ordered by
President Joe Biden to strengthen defenses against
Chinese espionage helped identify last week’s spy balloon — and determine that similar flights were conducted at
multiple points during the Trump administration.
White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday that after Biden took office, the U.S. “enhanced our surveillance of our territorial airspace, we enhanced our capacity to be able to detect things that the Trump administration was unable to detect.”
Speaking at the event hosted by the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, Sullivan added that as part of those efforts “
we were able to go back and look at the historical patterns" and uncover "multiple instances” during the Trump administration in which Chinese surveillance balloons traversed American airspace and territory.
Several
Trump administration officials have have said they didn't learn of Chinese surveillance balloons during their tenures
Before Monday, U.S. officials had said that at least three times during the Trump administration and at least one other time during Biden’s time as president balloons have crossed American airspace, but not for this long. In those instances, the United States determined the balloons belonged to China only after they had left U.S. airspace, said Gen. Glen VanHerck, head of U.S. Northern Command.
“I will tell you that we did not detect those threats,” VanHerck said of his military command. “And that’s a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out.” He added that the U.S. intelligence community “after the fact” informed his command about the balloons.
Sullivan did not explain what specifically allowed the U.S. to detect and track the latest balloon where the previous administration might not have. Officials have said, without elaborating, that China has flown similar balloons over parts of five continents in recent years.
you can read the rest from the link if you want. the spin is all above.

I still think the balloons were just dropping off Trump ties for resell in his various golf courses where he has undocumented workers doing housekeeping and lawn work.
