The Biden administration<\/a> is releasing details on how exactly the military effort to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina unfolded.<\/p>\n

A senior military official said on Saturday that the Chinese spy balloon was shot down at 2:39 p.m. on Saturday by one air-to-air A9X sidewinder missile fired by an F-22 Raptor that took off from Langley Air Force Base<\/a> in Virginia.<\/p>\n

The aircraft fired the missile at an altitude of 58,000 feet while the balloon was hovering at an altitude of between 60,000 and 65,000 feet.<\/p>\n

The balloon was shot down about six nautical miles off the coast off South Carolina and the debris field is said to be roughly seven miles wide.<\/p>\n

The depth of the water where the debris from the balloon hit the ocean is approximately 47 feet, officials said.<\/p>\n

The timeline on recovering the balloon from the Atlantic Ocean<\/a> is unknown and a Navy salvage vessel is expected to be on the scene in a couple of days.<\/p>\n

The defense official said that the U.S. military was able to gather intelligence information on the balloon as it flew across the country.<\/p>\n

“I can’t go into more detail, but we were able to study and scrutinize the balloon and its equipment, which has been valuable as Chinese officials<\/a> have themselves acknowledged,” the defense official said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The defense official confirmed President Biden\u2019s Saturday comment<\/a> that the military was given his permission to shoot the balloon down on Wednesday but military officials waited due to safety concerns for people on the ground.<\/p>\n

The defense official said that Saturday afternoon “was the first available opportunity to successfully bring down their surveillance balloon in a way that would not pose a threat to the safety of Americans, which are military assets.”<\/p>\n

President Biden has received scrutiny<\/a> from Republicans on Capitol Hill for not shooting down the balloon sooner as it flew over several military facilities that could have potentially provided China with intelligence information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
