Biden: There is no indication that the thrown objects belonged to China

US President Biden issued a press release on the downed Chinese “spy balloon” on February 4, followed by three flying objects detected and shot down in US airspace.

Biden said intelligence teams assessed that these three objects likely belonged to private companies or research institutions that study the weather or conduct scientific research.
