There isn’t yet any verification of what was shot down, said Sens, who has a particular interest in armed conflict and conflict management.Article content“They do appear to be balloons or small dirigibles of some kind, but whether they are connected to the first balloon incident is unclear at this point,” Sens said. “We have to be cautious. We cannot assume that the objects shot down recently were necessarily intelligence gathering balloons from China.
Separately, Air Canada said in a government aviation incident report that on Jan. 31, during a flight from Vancouver to Winnipeg, there was a “large balloon about 4,000 feet above them with something hanging from it.” “China’s use of these balloons is not particularly surprising, but should the more recent incidents be confirmed as the interception of more Chinese intelligence-gathering balloons, it will raise questions about whether the use of these balloons is increasing and will indicate a disturbing escalation in China’s willingness to directly provoke the U.S. by sending these craft over its territory.
