    I'm sure they did, but perhaps the bureaucracy's decision-making process was set up to escalate that knowledge (for evaluation of a possible military response) only for missiles and planes, which have traditionally been the expected means of attack from Russia, China, and Korea. Note this is pure speculation, based on assumptions of "bureaucratic inertia."

    I think it's more like the Chinese own Joe Biden so they get a pass to traverse the USA with a spy balloon inertia.

    WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said Thursday that three unidentified flying objects shot down last weekend over North American airspace were "most likely" balloons tied to private companies or research institutions, not part of China's surveillance spy balloon operation.

    Biden, delivering his first public address on the mysterious objects amid bipartisan pressure from lawmakers demanding more information, stressed there's "no evidence" that more flying objects are in the sky than usual.

    He said the intelligence community is "still assessing" objects that were shot down over Alaska, Canada's Yukon Territory and Lake Huron. "Nothing right now," he said, suggests the objects are tied to China's spy balloon program, even though they were shot down about a week after the U.S. shot down a Chinese spy balloon off the Atlantic coast.
    Unknown flying objects 'most likely' research balloons, Biden says

    What a liar. If these were private balloons we'd know who put them up there, this is so ridiculous.

    Biden couldn't tell the truth if he wanted too. He's been a professional Lying politician 48 years. Besides, Obama and the deep state handlers most likely give him the script from which to read from at Bidens public address given to the public today.

    I guess they were't hobby balloons after all.

    The Chinese spy balloon that flew across the U.S. was able to gather intelligence from several sensitive American military sites, despite the Biden administration's efforts to block it from doing so, according to two current senior U.S. officials and one former senior administration official.

    China was able to control the balloon so it could make multiple passes over some of the sites (at times flying figure-eight formations) and transmit the information it collected back to Beijing in real time, the three officials said. The intelligence China collected was mostly from electronic signals, which can be picked up from weapons systems or include communications from base personnel, rather than images, the officials said.

    Obviously a slow stroll over our strategic assets was allowed by Joe Biden, we know he took Chinese money via his son Hunter but I also wonder how many others in DC have been similarly compromised.

    The hesitation to shoot it down immediately really speaks to this administration and their incompetence.

    There's a lot of gun owners who would have done it for free and without hesitation had they known they were spy balloons.

    Biden's on the take, is a puppet of the CCP, and a traitor to the United States of America. He should be arrested and flown immediately to Guantanamo Bay.
    The Biden administration is also corrupt to the core and should be investigated, sentenced, and incarcerated for treason.
