The Chinese balloon spotted over the U.S. is violating U.S. airspace and international law, Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told reporters at a news conference Friday, describing the move as "unacceptable." He said U.S. authorities "know that it's a surveillance balloon," despite Beijing calling it a scientific research airship that deviated from its course. Ryder declined to provide the balloon's exact location, but he said it was drifting over the center of the U.S. and moving eastward. "Again, we currently assess that the balloon does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground at this time," he added.
