So much propaganda over the balloon from last week. lawrence their newspapers, which are all run by the communist party, have spent the last couple of days calling biden coward saying the us is making too much of this mocking the u. s for shooting down a balloon with an f 22 cant listen to any of that. what this tells us is that shes keeping has global military ambition. these are people that dont play by the rules of the road. and it tells you that china really is our number one threat and hey,...

Alaskan airspace in arctic waters. kirby they set the object was roughly the size of a small car without elaborating. but it is unclear, who owns this object and even the kind of unidentified objects is, aside from the fact that it cannot be described as a balloon, like the suspected chinese surveillance balloons that was shot down a week ago. lots of unanswered questions as of at this hour. joining me now, nbc news national security reporter dan de luce. dan, i tried to give out as much of an o...

Uncontrollable? theres a lot of that. its not that its uncontrollable. it means that the landing will be faster, so you need a bigger space in which to land the balloon. so, not ideal. that suggests this is quite a challenging place for this event to take place? it is, yes. yeah, its not the easiest. but i think thats what attracts most of us here is the challenge, so... the festival began over a0 years ago and has grown from just a few balloons to the 60—plus balloons they have coming today. ...

Canada was tracking a high—altitude object. at the direction of the prime minister, aircraft assigned to norad successfully took down this high—altitude airborne object. the airborne object in question, described as small and cylindrical, was travelling over canadas far north—west. it was shot down over the yukon territory, at an altitude of more than 12,000 metres. it came only a day after another object was intercepted in the neighbouring us state of alaska. the latest development, fight...

The face of civilian airships and other innocuous objects. so theres a lot in there, you have to be chinese to figure it out. i will say this, if we were sending balloons over china, thered be very little idea, very little discussion. theyd be all taken out. it took us a while to understand it was happening, if im to believe what we hear. four years ago this took place, three years ago this took praise. we look back at old satellite video and realize the trump administration let this happen? im ...

China is giving the US silent treatment ever since the US sent an F-22 Raptor to shoot down the Chinese spy balloon that navigated into North American airspace

Has 434 anemia it. thats less than the -- in it. thats less than the united states congress, and they tend up splashing it off the coast of south carolina where i think the boat traffic was more of a threat of hitting something than montana. but, you know, you look at this phase were entering in, and balloons are serious, and im glad the administration is finally taking it serious. the air force has had some good shots, theyve take taken em as they should. theres a lot of bad things that can go ...

Things improve. but all hope isnt lost. ive been told that over the nine days, organisers hope for at least five days of good flying weather, and some days with bad weather are still good for partial flights. balloon pilot nick dunnington has been coming to this festival from the uk since he was a child and hes offered to take me up later. so, nick, whats the status? everyone seems a little bit tense. yeah, so theyve given us the clearance to fly this morning, but the winds above the tops of the...

Balloon spent days over the united states before biden give authorization to shoot it out of the sky was the same as the documents, dont sweat this, there is nothing to see here. >> the idea its a dereliction of duty is a bizarre notion. china knows the deal with us. the idea of shooting down a balloon thats gathering information over america, that makes relations worse? dan: not worried about it? china? why is that? the government has gotten too comfortable just lying to you all the time. we kn...

Objects and see what they do? part of the calculus here is political. presidentjoe biden received a lot of flak for not taking down the chinese spy balloon so i think theres a lot of politics at play here, along with the fact the american military is on heightened alert to see what is over the country, in a way that they didnt appear that they were maybe a week and a half ago. president biden has certainly acted more swiftly in the latter two cases than he did the first one and presumably that i...
