It claimed to be a civilian “airship” used for meteorological research that had “deviated far from its planned course” after being blown off course due to its limited steering capability.
Beijing also expressed regret for deviating from its original course.
While defense officials stated that the balloon’s current flight path takes it over “several sensitive” military sites, US President Joe Biden is believed to have decided against shooting it out of the sky due to the risk of falling debris.
