Pentagon Confirms Balloon Debris Found off Alaska Coast Over a Year Old

The debris, discovered by fishermen, raises questions about its origins and purpose as analysis continues.

Pentagon spokesperson Sue Gough confirmed balloon debris found off the coast of Alaska has been in the ocean for 'well over a year'.
Fishermen discovered the debris last month, sparking interest due to last year's Chinese spy balloon incident.
The FBI is involved in the recovery and analysis of the debris, with some materials transferred to U.S. government facilities.
The origin and purpose of the balloon remain unclear, as it predates the Chinese spy balloon incident by several months.
President Biden hopes for discussions with Chinese leader Xi Jinping amidst ongoing analysis of the debris.
