The Chinese spy balloon that traveled across the U.S. likely was able to send sensitive data to the Chinese Communist Party before it was shot down by the U.S. military Saturday, foreign policy experts told Fox News Digital.
Military officials decided to take out the balloon exactly one week after they first discovered it in Alaska. However, President Biden was not made aware of the balloon until Tuesday, when it was over Montana. Local news broke the story of its existence on Thursday.
The Pentagon said Thursday it "acted immediately to protect against the collection of sensitive information" from the balloon. But geopolitical experts said there is little reason to believe those efforts were successful, as the balloon almost certainly transferred surveillance data over to China as it flew over several military bases.

He’s more like the second coming of LBJ, complete with his own proxy war.
I understand that they were tracking it as soon as it departed China.
It must have scanned the White House.
Alaska? I thought it went to Canada first then into the lower 48.
President Retard with his head up his butt as usual
Ha.
That “brain trust” plus Biden equals zero.
Different in the 1960s.
“I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.” —”Remarks at a Dinner Honoring Nobel Prize Winners of the Western Hemisphere.” April 29, 1962.
*sigh*
"Do you think so?"
And now they are saying 3 went over under Trump but were not detected until after Trump left office.
Also a fourth one last year or so. Also undetected.
China got lots of info for years and we didn’t even know?
Hey look there’s a Jack in the Box in Sandpoint and an Outback Steak House in Missoula.
Ret’s go, I so hungry.
10% for the big guy.
Yes we do.
Traitorous geniuses seeking to destroy America.
Sad truth.
We are occupied now.
A complete lie. If they were undetected how do they know they were there?
Did you see the thread?
Our leaders with ignorance and amnesia don’t remember the Japanese citizen that photographed Pearl Harbor and documented the goings of our ships the Summer of 1941. History repeats itself over and over.

The military chieftains are just as bad as Biden.
And that includes the loser Air Farce general who was
giving the American people a load of bullcrap on Friday.
What a dullard.
Everyone in the former Trump Administration, including John Radcliffe, Director of National Intelligence under Trump, said those stories of balloons over Texas and Florida during the Trump Administration are BS.
Just some lefties trying to prop up Biden and lying about Trump yet again.
What is even more incompetent is they let the balloon get off the coast of South Carolina. If they want to know what the balloon was using for its surveillance, they will have to use a salvage vessel to get it up in 65 feet of water. I doubt they will find it and we will never know if they did.
It went through Alaska and traveled over the Rockies in British Columbia and down into the western U.S.
