WASHINGTON-US intelligence agencies are aware of at least four other Chinese spy balloons, in addition to the one shot down by the Pentagon in early February, after flying over federal territory for several days. This is what we read in some of the classified documents of the US Department of Defense that were the subject of the leak that took place in recent weeks and months, for which Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old soldier and member of the intelligence department of the Guard was arrested and indicted Massachusetts National Air Force. According to the documents, obtained by the "Washington Post", the Chinese balloon shot down by the Pentagon (called Killeen-23 by US intelligence agencies) would have been equipped with a series of sensors and antennas. The documents refer to at least three aircraft: one of them would have flown over the battle group of a US aircraft carrier (an accident that has not been reported so far), and another would have crashed in the South China Sea.
