<p>New video emerged Saturday afternoon showing close-up footage of the moment that the U.S. military shot a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/communist-china" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chinese</a> spy balloon out of the sky over the Atlantic Ocean.</p>
<p>A senior U.S. military official <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pentagon-reveals-details-chinese-spy-balloon-taken-single-shot" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that an F-22 Raptor took out the spy balloon with one air-to-air A9X sidewinder missile that was fired at an altitude of approximately 58,000 feet.</p>
<p>Officials waited until the balloon was several miles off the coast of South Carolina before taking the shot in an effort to avoid any damage that may occur from debris falling from the sky.</p>

<p>Biden tried to take a victory lap over the weekend after the spy balloon was shot down, claiming that he “ordered the Pentagon to shoot it down on Wednesday as soon as possible,” but that the decision was made to not shoot it down over land because debris could cause damage when falling to the ground.</p>
<p>U.S. officials were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-tried-to-conceal-chinese-spy-balloon-to-not-disrupt-blinken-trip-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> “well aware” that the balloon had crossed into American airspace on January 28 and that it was over Idaho on Tuesday, but decided not to inform the public to not upend Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s diplomatic trip to China.</p>
<p>Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin <a href="https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3288535/statement-from-secretary-of-defense-lloyd-j-austin-iii/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the spy balloon was sent to the U.S. “in an attempt to surveil strategic sites in the continental United States.”</p>
<p>Biden faced intense <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-tries-to-take-victory-lap-for-shooting-down-chinese-spy-balloon-gets-slammed-by-top-officials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scrutiny</a> from top lawmakers who said that the spy balloon should have been shot down last month when it crossed over Alaska’s Aleutian Islands.</p>
