Report: Chinese spy balloon communicated with China via US Internet Provider
FOX News ^ | December 29, 2023 | Houston Keene

A new report revealed that the Chinese spy craft that flew over the U.S. at the beginning of this year was communicating with mainland China via an American internet provider.

Two current and one former Biden administration officials told NBC News in a Thursday report that the craft used a U.S. internet provider to receive mainly navigational communications.

NBC News did not name the internet provider in the report. The company denied that the Chinese spy craft used its services and had come to that conclusion via its own investigation as well as talking to U.S. officials.

Failure to disclose who did this makes this article meaningless.

I somehow doubt the current regime will name names

Comcast just got done finally telling it’s customers about a big security breach that gave the hackers lots of personal info.

They forced everyone to change their passwords.

The balloon was almost certainly weather. The propulsion system is for station-keeping and it failed. The thing then blew over Canada and south over the US.

It collected all sorts of info and tried to transmit it to the out of range weather receive station in China. That’s why it had antennae.

The thing was enormous, obscuring the vision of Chinese in-orbit assets from seeing things in the US, either visually or RF. The orbital recon guys screaming is likely what got their weather dept guy fired.

It is just insane to imagine a country with an excellent space program and a working lander on the far side of the moon, and numerous orbital spacecraft, would send a balloon to collect military info.

That’s true. But I find it vvverrry interesting that after you get past the part where an anonymous company helped the Chinese, the rest of the article seems to be trying to show how smart the US authorities were.
