Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China repeatedly made it clear that the entry of a Chinese civilian unmanned airship, which is for meteorological purposes, into U.S. airspace was due to force majeure and totally an accident.
However, the day the balloon was spotted, Washington hyped it to the extent of hysteria and now it has been made a hilariously daunting challenge. It is believed that despite the fact that Pentagon has attempted to misdeem the balloon as a spying object flown by China, sensible American people did not buy this idea. Objecting the “Balloon Conspiracy”, they questioned the authenticity of the events.
According to the story published on “The New Yorker” on February 18, buzzing points were raised. They were “why we didn’t track them earlier”, “why we didn’t know about them earlier”, and so forth. Still, there are no satisfactory answers to these US public’s queries asking if the balloon was lofted for surveillance purpose and entered in the US air territory and why it was not detected since its launch.
It kept drifting days and became part of discussion of public domain when a civilian sighted it. Simultaneously, in order to strike a balance between myth and reality, the US administration said that analysts are now examining the possibility that China didn’t intend to penetrate the American heartland with its airborne alleged surveillance device.
