Like the incidents before it, the most recent downing of what was described as an 'unidentified object' that violated Canadian airspace prompted the scrambling of U.S. fighter jets and led to more questions about the unusual activity happening in the sky.
The recent incidents involving the balloon-like objects detected over North America have set off alarm bells for lawmakers and, in the case of the Chinese spy balloon, sparked criticism of the Biden administration from members of both parties for its handling of the incursion.
Republicans and Democrats alike have questioned why the Biden administration waited to shoot down the balloon and allowed it to transit the country. McCaul also called for the U.S. to stop exporting technology that makes its way into Chinese surveillance and weapons systems, saying the balloon shot down off South Carolina carried American-made equipment. The Biden administrationsix Chinese entities connected to China's aerospace industry on Friday in an attempt to block them from accessing U.S. technology.
"We need to take these things seriously. I think the president and I think more importantly the military are taking it very, very seriously," he said."To back that up, I think through the appropriations process and the defense committee, we're going to make sure that they're taking it seriously. The checks and balances will be there as we move forward."
