A U.S. Air Force U-2 Dragon Lady spy plane pilot looks down at the Chinese surveillance balloon as it hovered over the central United States February 3, 2023. (Defense Department).

The photo shows the Chinese spy balloon as seen through the cockpit window of a U-2, with the shadow of the aircraft silhouetted on the side of the balloon’s envelope. The curve of the U-2 pilot’s “space suit” helmet appears on the right side of the shot, although their face is obscured.
