Intelligence officials during the Trump presidency received reports of at least three incursions into U.S. airspace by mysterious objects suspected to be Chinese spy balloons but never reported them to the president, according to.

China’s floating espionage program has been at the center of national security concerns in recent weeks, after a spy balloon was spotted over Montana in January and then shot down days later off the coast of South Carolina. The objects sighted during the Trump administration were allegedly smaller and hovered at lower altitude over bases in California, Virginia, and Guam, rather than passing over the continental U.S.
