The Chinese spy balloon that flew over the United States for days before being shot down could monitor communications signals, a U.S. official says.

“High resolution imagery from U-2 flybys revealed that the high-altitude balloon was capable of conducting signals intelligence collection operations,” an official with the State Department, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Epoch Times.
