Flights have been paused at three airports including Myrtle Beach International Airport in South Carolina because of a "national security effort", the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said.
The US has also temporarily blocked civilian flights within 100 square miles over the Atlantic Ocean and around the South Carolina coast.
The development comes after President Joe Biden said the US is "going to take care of" the suspected Chinese spy balloon flying over its airspace.
The balloon was spotted again on Saturday - this time over North Carolina.
US officials said Mr Biden is moving ahead with plans to shoot down the balloon.
Sources told the AP news agency that the president plans to bring it down once it is above the Atlantic Ocean, where the remnants could potentially be recovered.
The discovery of the aircraft has stirred tensions and a diplomatic row between China and the US.
The US claims the craft is a suspected spy balloon and says it has committed a "clear violation" of its sovereignty.
China insisted it is used for meteorological and other scientific research, and had been blown off course.
The contradicting lines from Beijing and Washington have created a void of uncertainty now being filled with theories, with some experts questioning why China would send it for reconnaissance, given that any intelligence gains from the craft would likely be extremely limited.
Others have said it could be a deliberate effort to embarrass or provoke the US, by showing how easily American airspace can be entered.
Its latest sighting comes after Mr Blinken spoke with senior Chinese diplomat Wang Yi about what had happened.
Beijing said they discussed how to deal with accidental incidents in a calm and professional manner.
Also on Friday, the US defence department said the balloon poses "no physical or military threat" to civilians, and there is no risk of any nuclear or radioactive material on board.
Military leaders decided against shooting it out of the sky due to the safety risk from falling debris.
The object is believed to have flown over the Aleutian Islands, off the coast of Alaska, and through Canada before entering the US earlier this week.
It is operating at 60,000ft and is maneuverable, the Pentagon has said.

Mortgage Fraud Alert: Did Letitia James Marry Her Father?
Joel Gilbert - Mar. 20, 2025 8:00 am
[During her victory speech, James declared: “When powerful people cheat to get better loans, it comes at the expense of honest and hardworking people.
Everyday Americans cannot lie to a bank to get a mortgage to buy a home, and if they did, our government would throw the book at them. No matter how big, rich, or powerful you think you are, no one is above the law.”]
My recent revelations in The Gateway Pundit demonstrated that New York Attorney General Letitia James obtained a federal government HAMP loan in 2011 to refinance her apartment building based on false unit information and a highly questionable hardship claim.
In her loan documents, James claimed her multi-family apartment building at Lafayette Avenue in Brooklyn had only four units, even though the official Certificate of Occupancy indicates five apartments.
