Summary

Description
English: This image of a Chinese surveillance balloon, taken by Billings, Montana resident Chase Doak on February 1, 2023, was circulated among news organizations, leading to acknowledgement of the balloon by United States government and military officials. The balloon's trajectory included sensitive U.S. military installation airspace, and led to a ground stop at Billings Logan International Airport that lasted two hours. The balloon was eventually shot down over the Atlantic Ocean on February 4 after traversing much of the continental U.S.
