Earlier this month, a senior State Department official noted that the overflights “demonstrated that a high-altitude balloon is capable of conducting radio signal collection operations.”

Officials said they chose not to shoot down the balloon over the US due to its size, fearing that falling debris could injure civilians or damage property on the ground.

General Glen VanHerke, commander of US Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command, later explained that the balloon was 60 meters high with a payload of hundreds of kilograms.

Assistant Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said on Wednesday that the balloon’s payload had been retrieved.
