Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said U.S. officials believe that two objects that were shot down over U.S. and Canadian territory late last week were balloons.

White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told ABC News’s “This Week” that the administration believes that the objects were “much smaller” than the Chinese spy balloon that was taken down near the South Carolina coast earlier this month.
