"Continued Secrecy: Pentagon Tracks New Unidentified High-Altitude Balloon Over Western US"

A year after the US Air Force shot down a Chinese spy balloon, the Biden administration is facing criticism for continuing to keep the FBI's forensic report on the craft's surveillance capabilities under wraps. Representative Darrell Issa has demanded transparency, accusing the administration of failing to provide a satisfactory account to the public and ultimately serving China's interests. Leaked information revealed that the balloon flew over sensitive military sites and civilian infrastructure, raising concerns about potential intelligence gathering for cyberattacks. Experts suspect the balloon may have carried sophisticated surveillance equipment, and the FBI's silence on the matter is seen as surprising and concerning.
