The United States navy has released photos of the downed suspected Chinese spy balloon that was shot down by a US fighter jet on Saturday.
The device, which is believed by the US to be a Chinese surveillance balloon, was downed off the coast of South Carolina after authorities waited for it to be a safe distance away.
Two navy ships, one with a crane for recovery, were sent for the removal. However, the photos show material being pulled by hand.
The arrival of the object sparked a diplomatic crisis with US secretary of state Antony Blinken scrapping his visit to China as a result.
