Research balloons, just hobbyists putting cameras up on high—altitude balloons. but theyjust werent seeing those before. and so now, having opened up the velocity gate, theyre now having to try and classify and potentially intercept a lot more things that theyjust we rent noticing before. make no mistake, if any object presents a threat to the safetyj and security of the american people, i will take it down. _ well, i think we need to focus on the real issue here, which is the impact all of th...

Weeks ago. the president of the united states in what can only be described as a panic, ordered the u.s. military to shoot down three balloons. they were probably private weather balloons similar to hundreds of such objects in the sky around the world that pose though threat to anyone. the source of balloons used by hobbyists and meteorological clubs can cost as little as $12. the missiles used to should the down the objects cost $400,000 each. the shootdowns were ordered, of course, so that no ...

Much wider velocity gates. so theyre suddenly seeing a lot of sort of floating objects, of which there are many that are not spy balloons. you know, weather balloons, research balloons, just hobbyists putting cameras up on high—altitude balloons. but they just werent seeing those before. and so now, having opened up the velocity gate, theyre now having to try and classify and potentially intercept a lot more things that they just werent noticing before. make no mistake, if any object presents ...

Is that the us appear to have reprogrammed a lot of their surveillance radars for air defence purposes with much, much wider velocity gates. so theyre suddenly seeing a lot of sort of floating objects, of which there are many that are not spy balloons. you know, weather balloons, research balloons, just hobbyists putting cameras up on high—altitude balloons. but theyjust werent seeing those before. and so now, having opened up the velocity gate, theyre now having to try and classify and potent...

Will simply filter them out. the wider you make those kind of velocity gates in terms of what the radar is looking at and what its disregarding, the more clutter youll have to deal with, and so the better processing youll require in order to get usable results for military purposes. whats happened since the chinese spy balloon incident in the us is that the us appear to have reprogrammed a lot of their surveillance radars for air defence purposes with much, much wider velocity gates. so theyre s...

People were told about this, and we were following from the island over the alaska and montana and then it came out, and why isnt congress informed and why arent we spending money it takes to upgrade the radar and missile systems to update these thing, and hobbyists balloons on one hand, and chinese balloons on the other, and the rules of engagement which the president is going to set out, and keep in classified so we know what to evade. >> when listening to presidents remarks, he is not seeking...

>> the mushrooming industry gives birth to a new high-tech cult and a place called silicon valley. >> the magic part of silicon valley is that there was this boiling pot of people who were involved in technology, involved in science. >> silicon valley was hp, sri, xerox park, and stanford university. that was a hell of a powerful combination. >> there was these two cultures, engineers with ph.d.s and hobbyists. >> it was a time when there was a lot of social ferment in and around the bay area. t...

>> there was a lot of this kind of revolutionary thing with a lot of the technical people who were into the changes in technology and how we were a part of it. even though at our companies we were generally the fringe element. we had the jeans and were not the managers and the leaders. but boy, just a clever design on its own had value. >> you had these guys like steve jobs and steve wozniak and bill gates and paul allen whod been messing around on the edges of what would become the personal com...
