2nd Chinese surveillance balloon spotted over South America, Pentagon says

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has confirmed to ABC News that a second Chinese surveillance balloon has been spotted transiting over South America.

There were early reports Friday that the balloon was flying over Colombia and Venezuela but there was no information until now.

“We are seeing reports of a balloon transiting Latin America. We now assess it is another Chinese surveillance balloon,” said Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder.

The video in the media player is from a previous report.
