the Pentagon, the headquarters of the US Ministry of Defense

, said that an alleged Chinese spy balloon was seen in US airspace, whose size is said to be equal to "three buses".

This incident happened a few days before Foreign Minister Antony Blinken's visit to China.

It is still flying in US airspace.

NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) is keeping a close watch on it.
