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.

Pentagon: People can ‘look up in the sky’ if they want to know where Chinese balloon is.
“The public certainly has the ability to look up in the sky and see where the balloon is,” Ryder answered.
Starting having people look to the sky?
Haven’t you heard???
Joe Biden just released a report that he drove a tractor trailer carrying an F-22 Stealth Fighter over to Andrews and flew it himself to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon...he is now negotiating to have a film made called “Independence Day Part II” starring himself...
This is hilarious! Improved surveillance??? Rofl!!! People looking up at the sky? Going like this? 🙄 Did they catch this on SNL?

Get real...
People can stare up in the sky and see it!
I SWEAR we are living in Goebbels Germany.
The level of false propaganda being sent to the public is unbelievable.
Lying to us with such contempt that Goebbels himself would be a an eternally jealous Fan.
Goebbels learned his stuff from the folks here that sold the population on getting into WWI: Edward Bernays and George Creel.
I believe Obama shut down the system that would have detected the balloons, if I remember correctly a lot of people raised concerns at the time.
Improved surveillance=Montana journalist
So how come no one is wanting to use the 25th amendment on SloJoe? How nuts does he have to get? Remember how every day one jackwad or another was wanting to use it on Trump because he was so “incompetent” doncha know?
Smells like a 4 day old homicide scene.
AP? Get real.
This pig face bidet think tank group are really special hey?
They can come up with some of the biggest lies.
So he’s the first commander in chief to ask norad to track weather balloons ?
I think NORAD would have data that states otherwise. From the 50s.
Of course Biden used to be in the typing pool between his job as a black train operator and trucker beating up gang leaders around the east coast.
Now we are to believe that Brandon ordered increased vigilance, and then we figured out we've been overflown years before?
That’s BS, why on earth would the Biden regime be interested in enhancing the security of our airspace while allowing our border to remain totally open and undefended in any way? The Chinese Army could march 4 or 5 divisions across our border undetected by Mayorkas and his batch of clowns.
Give Biden an enema and all that would remain could fit into a thimble with room to spare.
The amazing part was where President Biden piloted the
F-22 up to 58,000 feet and brought down the spy balloon
with his own two hands...
