Chinese spy balloon spotted floating over Montana, but we’re going to leave it alone for now

Days after a top US general publicly predicted that the US will be at war with China by 2025, the Pentagon has confirmed that a Chinese spy balloon is currently floating over the continental US -- it was spotted over Montana as recently as yesterday -- with officials also briefing reporters that they've decided not to shoot it down.

US military leaders have discussed blasting the spy balloon out of the sky but ultimately felt that the risk is too high that debris could damage property or pose a risk to people on the ground.
