better. that states is still working to identify recently down object spotted in north american aerospace, u. s. fighter jets on sunday shot down what they describe as in octagon, all object overlake. you're on along the canadian border. it's the latest incident since a suspected chinese surveillance balloon was blown out of the sky earlier this month . whitehouse as the objects do not pose in immediate threat on the ground. this is the moment a u. s. jack shot down a big white balloon, which washington believed could be a sophisticated chinese spying device. it 1st entered u. s. territory in late january and was shot down off the coast of south carolina on february 4th. since then, 2 smaller objects have been shot down over alaska and canada, and another one over michigan. the uncertainty around the last 3 mysterious object
12:07 am
has raised concerns over north american security and among some even fuel speculation over an alien invasion. the white house has responded to these claims with amusement and good afternoon. there is no indication of aliens or terrestrial activity with these recent take downs. wanted to make sure that the american people knew that all of you knew that. and it was important for us to say that from here because we've been hearing a lot about it, only the white balloon has so far been linked to china. investigators are analyzing fragments recovered at c, hoping to find out more about beaching and says to the balloon was conducting whether research and has rejected any connection to the last 3 object. bershana will be out there to you. we have stated many times the china civilian unmanned airship entered the u. s. aerospace accidentally,
12:08 am
which was an unexpected accident due to force mature between all mega wanted of her daughter as for the 3 other so called unidentified flying objects. and i have no information in a wall from what i mean that actually i'm sure the show you know, after years of mistrust, these latest tensions highlight yet another downturn and us china relations. let's get more now on this situation with kelly grayco. she's a senior fellow at the stimson center, a security policy thing. thank in washington, kelly. very good. have you with us on d. w. so we are probably not looking at a mainly innovation here. walk us through what we do and don't know about these mysterious objects. yes, i would say there's actually a lot we don't know right now. there are really more questions and answers. what i think is important, understand is that the 1st incident of the surveillance chinese rounds balloon that
12:09 am
cross united states is quite different from these other incidents. it was much larger. you can sense in the white house, the pentagon's response that they're highly competent. that was a chinese surveillance balloon. these other 3 incidents, the unidentified object as they're calling it is much smaller. it's. whereas the 1st balloon was about the size of 2 bob bosses. this one is about the size of a small car, and they're now reporting that they don't believe that these other 3 balloons had communications equipment associated with them if they are balloons. so i think there's a, there's a important difference between the, the, the, the 1st incident and the other 3 and a lot we just don't really know about the latter 3 in particular. right. so there's just this hyper sensitivity because one thing happened. we see that nor right is adjusting their radar is making it more sensitive or we just seeing more things that may be always there. how do you assess the situation? i think that's exactly right. and that it's quite clear that after this 1st incident,
12:10 am
nora is even acknowledged that they adjusted their radars. and one of the things with radars is you're looking for objects that are of concern of interest to you. and part of what you need to do that is to filter out a lot of noise. and traditionally we have thought of noise being objects that are really small, and that are moving slowly. i've just course described a balloon to you. and so there was an effort to try to make the raid are more sensitive, so they would pick up more of these potential balloons if they're out there. and of course, one of the problems with that is we're now seeing a lot more objects. and as a result, it's really not clear whether this was even on chinese origin, or if it could have been maybe something you know, from the united states. it's a civilian use or a research use. right, so let's look at the global sturdy picture because whatever the facts may actually be, it doesn't take a lot for things to possibly spin out of control, regardless of what ultimately these objects are. and this is coming at a time of increased chinese and american tensions. is there
12:11 am
a bigger global security impact here, or are these just isolated incidents? no, i think there is a much bigger security impact here. and part because this incident is happening at a time deteriorating us chinese relations. and it's being fit into a larger narrative about china being a threat and about competition and a need for the united states to become much more serious about the china throughout . and both parties in some ways are trying to almost outbid each other, and they're, you know, hawkish ness towards china. i would just say, i think there is a real opportunity here for some kind of diplomacy around this issue. you know, one of the 1st to try to did was note, it's regret about this incident. that's highly unusual. and i would just suggest that there is an opening there with that statement for the white house to perhaps engage with jing, particularly around me in the issue of surveillance balloons, and maybe setting up some rules of the road. right. kelly greek are there with the
