The top of the hour this monday. im jim sciutto. >> im erica hill. this morning the white house is refuting chinas claims that they had illegally flown balloons in china airspace ten teams. the white house is calling that allegation flat out false. it is coming on the heels of the u.s. shooting down three unidentified objects over the last week. >> and it is not known if they have connections to the three others after the shot down surveillance balloon. there is pressure mounting on president bi...

About what it knows here in the biden administration, and do you believe they should share more? >> i believe they have been. we have just received a classified briefing about the ccp balloon before we left town. we are going to be receiving briefings about the latest shoot downs soon. i believe that the administration is taking the responsible position to examining the wreckage before they can give us answers to the question, and for that matter, the canadians are going to do the same thing, an...

Fact that they saw this one coming in from china, the initial balloon from right at the time it was launched, tracked it along, and my own personal view is they probably learned more from tracking it across the u.s. than they ever would have had they shot it down early on. for the three others that we have seen over the weekend, at this point, they have turned their system up to be so sensitive that its picking up lots of things. and its well known in intelligence when you start looking for some...

Of the wreckage. my hunch is these are not chinese surveillance balloons. the axis came from the north as compared from the west with the initial balloon. i guess are these are probably weather balloons or scientific balloons or something like. but boy, if these are chinese balloons it says a lot what is going on in china and what were up against if indeed that is the case. >> how would you rule that out? >> again, we have to do the forensics. im glad to see that the administration is taking a m...

Aircraft flown by commercial entities. theres no evidence these objects came from china. after the chinese spy balloon entered u.s. airspace, the u.s. homeland defense adjusted its radar. >> the adjusting of the radar sensitivities, which means we are seeing more things than we normally would see. but, we dont fully appreciate. >> norad asked whether these were simply weather balloons. >> im not going to characterize them as balloons we are calling them objects for a reason. >> sent up to observ...

Being done whether the people at the top of the bureau or the peoples liberation army knew about this balloon at the same time that secretary blinken was coming after running on autopilot, and the lower leadership did not know about it or the top leadership, but either way, it is a problem, because the ccp has massive surveillance capabilities, and they have, you know, if there is any miscalculation, it could have grave consequences whether it is intentional or unintentional. >> congressman, tha...

Have died, but that figure is expected to rise dramatically some 90,000 israelis have protested after controversial plans for reforms. we start in the united states where officials have been explaining more about a series of objects that have been shot down from its airspace. three were shut down this past week, and we have just been hearing from the white house. they say they havent been able to identified what these objects are. they are maintaining that this balloon, which was shut down on th...

That is connected to the peoples liberation army. it was operating during the previous administration, but they did not detect it. we detected it. we tracked it. and we have been carefully studying it to learn as much as we can. we know that these surveillance balloons have crossed over dozens of countries on multiple continents around the world, including some of our closest allies and partners. im joined now by brynn tannehill, a former naval aviator and senior technical analyst at rand. good ...
