US claims Chinese ocean balloon sensors retrieved.

(BBC) ⸻ The US military has recovered sensors from a suspected Chinese spy balloon shot down after crossing the US, including 30-40ft (9-12m) of the antenna array. The FBI is examining the items, which the US says were used to spy on sensitive military sites. The US has shot down three more objects in as many days, including a Sidewinder missile over Alaska, Canada's Yukon territory, and Lake Huron on the US-Canada border. The slow-moving unidentified objects may be difficult for military pilots to target. The balloon shot down over South Carolina was described as the size of three buses, the second object over Alaska was described as a "small car", the third object over the Yukon was "cylindrical" and the fourth, over Michigan, was said to be "octagonal". Efforts are under way to collect debris from where the other objects were blown out of the sky, and the search area in the Yukon Territory is 3,000 sq km (1,870 sq miles). Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesman Sean McGillis said there is a possibility the fragments from the Yukon and Lake Huron incidents might never be recovered due to their remote locations. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is considering meeting China's most senior diplomat, Wang Yi, later this week at a security conference in Munich.
