Come back downwards the atlantic, try to gather it up, get as much information off this balloon as we can, if we can find any sensor package that's on there, rather large, about the size of a mack truck, hopefully we'll be able to garner some information off that as well. mike: do you share the concern that that we've heard from retired senior brass types about when it hits the water, it could sink rather rapidly in that saltwater with sensitive equipment may not do very well? >> yeah. i think i heard keith kellogg say that very same thing. again, that will be for our men and women if we can g...

Sensor package after they take it down. just taking it down isn't going to achieve the most valued objective. >> yeah, griff, to me the reason it's important to get the sensor package. it's a massive package. the package that we know underneath the balloon is the size of a school bus. that's huge. we don't know what's 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 recovered the sensor if you can but all of the information is back within china and that's the bigges...

Terms of the reaction time and willingness to react on the part of the u.s. also they did, perhaps, collect realtime information of the military equipment that you outlined. so what part of that is concerning, or should we just not be concerned about that at all in. >> well, no, we should be. it's not just maybe on the equipment, but when it was the loitering and the sensor package they had, they were gathering signals intelligence and communications intelligence, and that's very important. what were we saying, how were we reacting to it. and when you sweep up that kind of information and pass...

Almost immediately. if that thing is falling as the size of a school bus at that thing is valid for 60000 feet hitting the water and there's not going to be a lot left with an recovery recovery is going to be very, very hard. they've got a landing ship docked in route to that area. i think right now that sensor package if you look at it closely and look at the street again and you really run that underneath bloom and the balloon is hit you will see a package separated from that balloon. i am pretty sure it's a sensor package. i don't know what we're going to recover from it now. hopefully we w...

Down at a certain rate. if it's all-in-one piece, probably no big deal. it's going to land in one place. if you hit the payload package and destroy that, now you have debris that's going to be scattered. but the fact of the matter is the thing should have been shot down before it penetrated the territory of our sovereign air space. what's really of more concern than the sensor package that this chinese balloon is carrying, is why did we let this penetrate the sovereign territory of canada the united states. it should have been neutralize ed as it entered our identification zone. >> so we in th...
