Going to end. i think it might depend to some extent on the level of cooperation between the chinese and the americans to either bring this balloon safely down or at least get it out of us airspace.— out of us airspace. peter bowes. _ out of us airspace. peter bowes, alan _ out of us airspace. peter bowes, alan north - out of us airspace. peter i bowes, alan north america correspondent, joining us from los angeles, thank you. —— our north america. john powell is the president and founder o...

Its going to end. i think it might depend to some extent on the level of cooperation between the chinese and the americans to either bring this balloon safely down or at least get it out of us airspace. earlier we spoke tojohn powell who is the president and founder ofjp aerospace. his company has launched 200 balloons into the upper atmosphere for research students and media companies. i asked him why the chinese are using a balloon rather than a satellite. well, balloons give you several advan...

Balloon. now, the issue for me is what other kinds of sensor or other phenomena that this balloon was trying to collect. hopefully well learn that by exploiting the payload. >> because the balloon might not have been just taking pictures. is that right? >> exactly. if it was just taking pictures then i really dont understand it because the, as i say, the chinese overhead reconnaissance satellites can do every bit what that balloon can do and more. now, if it was somehow intercepting radiation, n...

Because of whats happened to the chinese, and that is, controlling them. >> so then that underscores the potential risk. you wont know what the sensor is capable of, or if there is a sensor, or what might be, you know, the components of it, if you were to shoot it down, so how is the u.s. trying to strategize about what is the best way to proceed, if and when it does go over sea, do you shoot it down? is there a way to net it, to still extrapolate the information? or when you shoot it down, it s...

They are taking advantage of obviously doing this safely in terms of civilians. it is not a complicated operation. i believe for the nine states and military to take a balloon moving at the speed is moving at take it down. the coordination to do that, the intelligence to bring all that together is not a major problem for us at all. now, can we recover the sensor package? that is going to be iffy given the size of this thing and how much it weighs. but, nonetheless we finally did what we shouldve...

Sensor package after they take it down. just taking it down isnt going to achieve the most valued objective. >> yeah, griff, to me the reason its important to get the sensor package. its a massive package. the package that we know underneath the balloon is the size of a school bus. thats huge. we dont know whats inside the package. but i wished we could have recovered it earlier. and, griff, the problem the information has been transmitted. shoot down the balloon, thank you very much, we recover...

If it had that or some sensor or sensors on the balloon interfere with that. so its quite conceivable. >> and you know, one of the questions i think thats floating around thats highly intriguing is what does this say about chinese espionage efforts in the united states? looks like they were doing some over the united states. what does it say about chinese espionage efforts inside the united states and how extensive they are? i imagine the american people might surmise its going on and is extensi...

Have made. and so theres a very tactical aspect to this. weve got to make sure we recover the balloon, weve got to make sure we can get the sensor and exploit it as best we possibly can. but then weve got a long haul in front of us from a strategic aspect of this in terms of china just so, you know, so daringly went and violated u.s. air space which weve known for several days and the fact that we finally shot it down. a lot more to come. arthel: well, lets go in reverse order. what is that stra...
