I don't understand it here. If it's detrimental to national security shouldn't it be dealt with immediate action? I think it's a propaganda with a lot of self conflicted information.

advpetcon Chinese surveillance balloon spotted over U.S., Pentagon says

First time seeing this news thought it was a joke but turns out it's not. A few questions: 1. is it possible for a balloon to fly over pacific to U.S? 2. why we notice it after it has been at mid US? I think we could identify it starting from the west coast? 3. what makes it to be a Chinese balloon? I mean it could be from other country, right?

I tried to search answer but not finding useful information so far

Hi HN community! I wrote this blog for keeping a record while I was preparing for interviews. I am not a native speaker, so there might be some wording/grammar problems.
