False. The video OP posts does not say the spy balloon was American. The article the video cites reiterates that it was Chinese. It adds that the Chinese had packed it with American tech despite US efforts to restrict exports of tech to China that could have military uses. https://www.newsweek.com/chinese-spy-balloon-new-report-american-technology-found-2027189

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1891155243724890543
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
