On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) mentioned that the Biden administration “definitely” understood about the Chinese spy balloon and the item over Alaska that was shot down prior to the items crossed over into American airspace due to the fact that these items do not “simply appear at the Alaskan coast. We’re able to track those things method prior to they come by” to American airspace. Cuellar reacted to a concern on how the discovery of things over U.S. airspace is dealt with by stating, “I believe there is a procedure where they will inform specific members and senators. As you understand, I do rest on defense appropriations, however that’s a little [different] from a few of the other committees. I would state that, in this case, they definitely– and even on the very first one– they understood it ahead of time. It does not simply appear at the Alaskan coast. We’re able to track those things method prior to they come by to the U.S. border, in this case, the Alaskan border. In this case, it was at 40,000 feet, I believe that’s what has actually been approximated, and when you’re speaking about 40,000, that puts it in a really various location when you speak about airspace.” Follow Ian Hanchett on Twitter @IanHanchett
