So obviously, up on the side of the mountains, theres a lot of snow, a lot of trees, but not a lot of roads. so youre having to land as close to a road as possible to make the retrieval of all the kit easy. the mountains also produce a different climate, so there can be a lot of different wind patterns and things that develop around the mountains. it seems to be almost a lifestyle, this passion for ballooning. what is it that you love about ballooning? very much so. i mean, its the tranquillity,...

The balloon nice and level, so were putting in little bits of heat every now and again to keep the buoyancy up. uh-huh. so tell me a little bit about the specific challenges of a landscape like this. so obviously, up on the side of the mountains, theres a lot of snow, a lot of trees, but not a lot of roads. so youre having to land as close to a road as possible to make the retrieval of all the kit easy. the mountains also produce a different climate, so there can be a lot of different wind patte...

The bbc�*s data analysts and weather teams say this model takes account of things like wind patterns and shows a trajectory from china across the pacific, crossing alaska, then canada before entering the us. it was then spotted, supposedly first by civilians on a plane, over rural montana. here, us officials claimed, the balloon lingered. why? well, one possible reason we can see from this satellite imagery is malmstrom air force base nearby, an important base that houses intercontinental miss...

To calm sky—high tensions. this crisis shows just how fragile relations are. because of the fact that it stopped over the us air force base, it stopped over some of the strategic missile silos for icbm, intercontinental ballistic missiles, thats not a mistake, and i think they knew we would see that. so, i think that its probably some kind of an intentional message, but i think it went way off course and blew up far more than they expected. i think that theyre embarrassed by this. the chinese ...

This weekend to china. so, where did the balloon come from? a us meteorologist has tracked the route it may have taken using a model normally used to look at the spread of pollutants. the bbc�*s data analysts and weather teams say this model takes account things like wind patterns and shows a trajectory from china across the pacific, crossing alaska then canada before entering the us. it was then spotted, supposedly first by civilians on a plane, over rural montana. here, us officials claim, t...

And blew up far more than they expected. i think that theyre embarrassed by this. the chinese have dismissed what they call "groundless conjecture" and accused american politicians of hyping things up. but theyve also expressed regrets that the balloon flew over us territory. wind patterns took it on an epicjourney, from china across the pacific. then floating over alaska and canada, before arriving in the us. the balloon lingered over rural montana, and this could be why — youre looking at a ...

The chinese foreign ministry today first called for calm but later apologised, saying a scientific balloon mainly used for weather research had gone off course. but within hours, the us military responded by saying they did not believe beijing. the fact is, we know that it is a surveillance balloon, and im not going to be able to be more specific than that. we do know that the balloon has violated us airspace and international law, which is unacceptable. so where did the balloon come from? a us ...
