What Chinese balloons are telling India about espionage

The saga of the alleged Chinese spy balloon over the United States ended in an anticlimactic puff of smoke on February 4 after an American F-22 shot down the airship over coastal waters in the Atlantic Ocean.

News of the Chinese airship went public on February 3. This was not a far fetched claim - in 1998 a weather balloon went off course over Canada and drifted across the Atlantic before coming down in the Arctic Sea.
