What was its goal? you know, fred, when we talked a couple of hours ago, one of the things i was pointing out is people in the intelligence community and the military were saying, would everybody just calm down, you ve been screaming to shoot it down for days. we have a plan and we have a mission. let s go chronologically. it crosses over the aleutian mountains, over canada, enters montana and is looking straight at critical military spaces. the chinese says it drifted off course. okay. but then a number of things started to happen. first of all, the u.s. government starts to track it, dod and the intelligence community are going to say, all right, let s see how it behaves, what does it do, where does it go, how is it controlled? is it really drifting through the wind or does it have navigation capabilities, so which the pentagon says yes. the second thing you want to know is what is it collecting and what is it doing with it? they re looking at that payload ....

I don t remember, recollect this. i ve had some personal experience with using balloons as intelligence collector, particularly for imagery, and they re not very efficient for that purpose. that s why i m a little skeptical of that imagery. they re so subject to the vagaries of weather. you know, mist, fog, rain, and especially as we ve seen in this case, wind. they re hard to control. so i m very interested to learn if we can publicly just what sort of sensor suite was in the payload of the balloon. and do we have the technical capabilities do you think to, to already know, what the surveillance equipment was doing. could they have gotten a close look at it before it was shot down to know what this thing is? i ll just say that s possible. i don t know. either through direct ....

Balloon. now, the issue for me is what other kinds of sensor or other phenomena that this balloon was trying to collect. hopefully we ll 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 don t 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, non-literal communications, literal communications, i don t know. we ll learn that. but it just seems to me strange that the chinese would intentionally do this. particularly at this particular time. and the balloon, we re told, will be analyzed once it s retrieved, at an fbi lab in quantico. how critical is it at this point ....

At 2:39, that balloon was down. it know goes from that etffort o a recovery effort. lloyd austin says, president bind gave his authorization to take down the balloon as soon as the mission would be accomplished without undue risk to american lives. after careful analysis, they determined that it posed undue risk to people across a wider area due to the size and altitude of the balloon. we know that payload in the water, the recovery effort on going now. all right, warren lieberman, thank you very much. let s go over to the white house. cnn arlett is there. he didn t speak long. he was very emphatic that he made this call to take down the balloon. he was, and president biden was actually aboard air force one flying to maryland as the ....

Payload of a length of three schoolbuses falling apart and creating a debris field. so the decision was made to shoot it down once it was off the coast. it was f-22 launch out of langley air force base that fired an a-9 side winder missile that s a fairly short range weapon. so they had to get up close. the pentagon says the jets were about 28,000 feet. the balloon, between 60 and 65,000 feet. it was one shot, one kill for the balloon. thank you very much. let s go to arlette sciaenz fors at the white house. busy saturday afternoon. what are we hearing from the president? he was very emphatic this afternoon to make it clear he issued this order on wednesday. i thought that was interesting. yeah, jim. president biden really trying to lay out the timeline for when this decision was made, saying he told his military leaders to shoot down that plane as soon as ....
