Chinese balloon shot down over the Atlantic

That he did, this is the moment the U.S. shot down an alleged Chinese spy balloon that entered U.S. airspace. An F-22 fighter jet took down the balloon with one shot Saturday afternoon over the Atlantic Ocean. The balloon was spotted Saturday morning over the Carolinas as it headed towards the Atlantic Coast.

President Joe Biden gave the green light finally to take it down. The FAA issued a ground stop on all flights departing and arriving to Charleston and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, as well as Wilmington, North Carolina. Biden's decision comes amid heavy criticism from opponents who say the White House should have taken action sooner. What we need from our president, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat, is strength. We need deterrence. China insists the balloon is used for weather research and flew into U.S.

airspace by accident.
