US intelligence discovers mysterious object released by China's space plane in orbit.

China's mysterious space plane, similar to the US Boeing X-37B, has successfully launched and recovered a reusable spacecraft after nine months in orbit. The Chinese government has released little information about the craft, but experts believe it may have military potential and satellite removal capabilities, such as a robotic arm. The craft released an "object" into orbit in October, which disappeared in January and reappeared in March, indicating possible satellite removal capabilities. The primary purpose of the craft remains unclear.
