gaps in our intelligence, perhaps most concerning officials say four previous balloon incidents in the us in recent years dating back to the trump administration initially went undetected. the white house eventually briefed congress about them. in august. there have been a least four encouragements in recent years, and we're very different. they were off the coast of the us and very brief but what's frightening about this is the u. s military had no idea those incursions were happening until afterwards. in fact, the head of norad said today it's my presponsibility to detect threas to north america. i will tell you that we did not detect those threats. fortunately they detected this one. on saturday, a fighter jet fired a missile at the balloon over the atlantic, leaving a seven mile debris field off the south carolina coast. unmanned underwater vehicles are being used to search for wreckage. a source says u. s officials are hopeful the entire payload will be recovered, including the technology bay, which will be pieced back together enough to

understand its full operational potential. the balloon was first spotted over alaska then passed over sensitive military installations through montana. hannah the plains in the midwest until reaching the east coast, the pentagon said shooting the balloon down over land would risk lives on the ground, but critics accused the white house of not being prepared, especially considering the administration was aware of previous balloons. they should have been prepared. they should have been prepared either to intercept. to prevent to take it down or to try to, you know, capture the balloons. they could capture the equipment that's there. instead they were left as casual observers watching this traverse some of our most sensitive military science, a senior u. s official says a certain group inside the chinese army controlled the balloon. us senators are expected to get a briefing on the investigation later this week. relations with china will be one topic during president biden's state of the union address tonight, but the u. s economy is expected to be the main focus. abc s faith boothbay is on capitol hill with

increase in american history. then they maxed our nation's credit cards again just 13 months later. and after meeting with president biden last week, mccarthy said that he believes that the two of them can find some common ground. in the meantime, though, tonight the official republican response to the state of the union address will come from arkansas governor and former white house press secretary sarah huckabee. sanders, andrew faith. thank you. and a reminder. abc news will bring you live coverage of tonight's state of the union at nine eastern the e p. a, says a controlled burn at the site of a train derailment in eastern ohio went as planned quality will continue to be monitored at the site in east palestine, near the pennsylvania border, find train cars carrying toxic vinyl chloride derailed friday and mandatory evacuation zone remains in place to suspected white supremacists are in custody, accused of plotting to attack baltimore's power grid. sarah klein. daniel was shown by the fbi wearing a mask and
