Episode notes

A large Chinese spy balloon first drifted into American airspace entering the skies above Alaska. First, U.S. officials thought the craft was just another one of China's light probes that routinely float around the edges of our border. On Wednesday, President Biden was briefed on the balloon, but it's been the next four days floating over the U.S., clearly visible to onlookers on the ground. Ultimately, on Saturday afternoon, the balloon finally drifted into the skies near Myrtle Beach and a F-22 Raptor shot it down.
