Pentagon officials said they did not believe the balloon had surveillance or intelligence-gathering capabilities above and beyond Chinese spy satellites in low earth orbit, In the past, the US has simply allowed balloons like this to waft away, without taking any action or publicizing their presence over the US, the sources said. It is also not the first time a surveillance balloon has appeared over the United States. The US official said there were similar incidents with suspected Chinese surveillance balloons over Hawaii and Guam in recent years.

以上是从CNN上节选的,足以让所有反中的人们的辩解成为笑话。第一,第一,美国军方不认为这些气球有高端侦察设备,不像中国的低轨道卫星;第二,这种气球曾经在美国出现多次,而美国以前都是简单的直接让这些气球飘过。第三,中国的气球曾经不止一次从美国领土飘过,如夏威夷和关岛。(只不过因为现在中美关系紧张,才被爆出来)

1) 民用 = Non-Government or non-military, maybe some research company, etc.
2) 中国能到附近来放那么大的气球 - the balloon was released from China, not released from where close to American and Japanese did this in WWII and so easy doing it now.
问:据媒体报道,近日一艘中国无人飞艇出现在美国空域。中方对此有何评论?
答:该飞艇来自中国,属民用性质,用于气象等科研。受西风带影响,且自身控制能力有限,该飞艇严重偏离预定航线。中方对飞艇因不可抗力误入美国表示遗憾。中方将继续同美方保持沟通,妥善处理这次因不可抗力导致的意外情况。
中国外交部北京时间3日晚间证实,一艘中国民用无人飞艇因为天气因素,偏离航道,误入美国,中方两度强调是因“不可抗力”的因素才发生这一情况,对此表示遗憾。
外交部周五晚间以“发言人答记者问”的方式、证实美国国防部周四公布疑似在美国上空的这个疑似谍气球确实来自中国。
外交部在声明中说,这一飞艇来自中国,属于民用性质,用于气象等科研。受西风带影响,且“自身控制能力有限”,才导致飞艇严重偏离预定航线。中方对飞艇因“不可抗力”误入美国表示遗憾。中方将继续同美方保持沟通,妥善处理这次因“不可抗力”导致的意外情况。
外交部发出上述声明前,外交部发言人毛宁同一天下午在记者会上回答众多记者询问时仅指出,中国是负责任的国家,一贯严格遵守国际法,无意侵犯任何主权国家的领土领空。中国正了解核实情况,希望双方共同冷静谨慎处理。
就在美国国务卿布林肯即将启程访华前夕,美国国防部周四披露,军方正追踪一个出现在美国上空、疑似中国的间谍气球。这一飞行器的大小约三辆公共汽车,美国军方曾考虑在蒙大拿州上空击落这一间谍气球,但最终没这么做,是因为考虑到碎片可能带来当地的安全风险。
路透社报道指出,蒙大拿州机场一度发布地面停飞令,并动员F-22战斗机。
一位不愿透露姓名的美国国防官员说:“显然,这个气球的目的是为了监视。”
