Officials said the U.S. believes it collected all of that balloon’s debris off the ocean floor, which included key equipment from the payload that could reveal what information it was able to monitor and collect.
While the military is confident the first balloon was a surveillance airship from China, the White House has admitted the smaller objects are likely civilian-owned.
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and the U.S. Northern Command recommended the search for two unidentified flying object be called off.
The U.S. military said Friday that it has ended its search for airborne objects that were shot down Feb. 10 near Deadhorse, Alaska, and Feb. 12 over Lake Huron.
Meanwhile, officials said the U.S. has finished efforts to recover the remnants of the large balloon that was shot down Feb. 4 off the coast of South Carolina.
Debris from the balloon taken down off the coast of South Carolina, however, was collected and will be analyzed by the FBI, U.S. Northern Command said.
