The United States Navy has released the first official images of its effort to recover what Washington says was a Chinese “surveillance balloon”, which was shot down over the Atlantic Ocean after being spotted in US airspace last week.The photos published on Tuesday showed US Navy members from an explosive ordnance group leaning over a rigid-hull inflatable boat and pulling in broad swathes of the balloon’s white outer fabric and shell structure.Using underwater drones, warships and inflatable vessels, the Navy is carrying out an extensive operation to gather all the pieces of the device, which spent several days flying over North America last week before being shot down on Saturday off the coast of South Carolina.
