The suspected Chinese surveillance go up appears to be heading toward New york, according to ABC News , citing the senior US official acquainted with the situation. That official stated the US would probably shoot the balloon down over the Atlantic Ocean and retrieve this.
Within the past hour, numerous Twitter customers have uploaded footage associated with what appears to be the Chinese language balloon floating above New york.

Here’s the #ChineseSpyBallon over Easley, SC around 7: 45am this AM. The trajectory forecast I posted last night seems right on. The particular balloon should be visible anywhere in southern North Carolina and north South Carolina at some point over the next 6-8 hours. 📸 Jerrika McDowell. picture. twitter. com/6hspFrIXqG

On Friday, we reported Capital Weather Gang, which accurately predicted the balloon’s trajectory while it was floating above the Midwest. At this point updated predictions for Saturday morning show the balloon might be headed toward the Atlantic.
The balloon’s payload is approximately 90 feet long, or the length of two motorhomes, and the balloon itself is much bigger. Here’s one of the clearest sights of the balloon.
And there might be more balloons . All of us noted last night:
“ We are seeing reports of a go up transiting Latin America, ” Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, a Pentagon spokesperson, told Fox News Friday night time. “ We now assess it is another Chinese surveillance go up. ”
US officials have never ruled out shooting the balloon down. That might happen as soon as the balloon moves offshore in to the Atlantic. Time for Room Force to shine.
