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...

Radar anomaly in montana plus an object shot down over alaska and an object shot down over canada do. what i want to ask you is why have they changed their approach? you know, theyre doing something very different than they did a week ago with the chinese spy balloon. did they find something already in the wreckage of the first one? is it all about pr? why are they shooting them down quickly now when they waited so long with the first chinese spy balloon? >> well, you know, my analysis is that t...

My reaction is that we need to find out more information about this trend that seems to be continuing and continuing at a very rapid clip. we know that these high surveillance objects we have seen four of them, i believe, in the last five years. three of them were under the trump regime, but we are now seeing an increased clip of these objects. the information is slowly crippling out. and we still need to figure out why they are coming over our airspace. but we do know and what we will find is t...

And when you land. this is what i understood this morning listening to the pilot briefing. small changes, you know, that wouldnt affect many other leisure activities have such a big impact with the hot air balloons. yes. but you have to know that every season is different to fly. thats why if you want to be a good pilot, you have to fly every week. otherwise you are a bad pilot. with some balloons starting to take to the skies, ijoin nick in the basket. oh, wow. and within just a few seconds, we...

She used. she said cylindrical in shape. she said it was flying at about h 40,000 feet, going back to the conversation we had earlier, you cant have objects flying that low, could get in the way of civilian aircraft obviously. but what is your sense of it listening to that kind of information, particularly the shape of this object that is very odd. >> well, its very odd. you know, if youre looking for a traditional balloon or an aircraft. throughout history there have been many cylindrical flyin...

Clearly to the american people -- and hopefully the diplomatic channels are trying to come to a consensus and make sure that this does not escalate into an even greater international incidents. that is why i think the concern is real. it is what i am hearing -- >> give me your thoughts. we dont know if these objects are at all connected. but do you think the shooting down of the last two objects is in part and overreaction because of how republicans reacted to the suspected chinese surveillance ...

From Taiwan to tech trade, thornier problems lurk in bilateral ties.

Providing details other than it is a project in part because of the fact that pilots that went up to survey the friday object, they came back with conflicting accounts. so, the white house and the pentagon have been reticent to put out any information. now, senator majority leader chuck schumer just a few minutes ago, he went furtherer than what the biden administration has gone in characterizing saturday and fridays object. i want you to take a listen. he said this -- before he said that last n...
