let's get right to our pentagon correspondent courtney kube she's been following all of this from the beginning. courtney, what could these objects possibly be >> reporter: so we only know about the first one, that was high altitude chinese surveillance balloon the other three are smaller. it's not clear who owns them. we don't even really know what they were doing whether surveillance or something else we do know that the u.s. would take a couple things into account when deciding whether to shoot them down one is whether they pose a threat to civilian or military aviation the next is, do they pose a threat to people on the ground and then, finally, do they pose some sort of general national security threat? those would have been taken into consideration when deciding to take it down. >> the biggest question everyone has, is there some kind of increase in the number of flying objects right now? were they always there and the military is just finding them? >> reporter: that is also not clear we know the u.s. military now is looking at a wider range of radar data. they may just be seein

courtney, what are officials saying about this balloon? what really is it, and how did the u.s.earn about its presence? >> so the u.s. military first started tracking this several days ago. it moved down from the aleutian islands through canada into montana, and they were watching it during its entire track. they're characterizing it as a high altitude surveillance balloon, so something that is gathering, collecting information. they've been really particular about not saying what kind of information it can gather with the exception of the fact a senior defense official told me they don't believe it has any kind of new or different intelligence capabilities beyond some of the things that they already know that china does, like using satellites to gather information about things in the continental u.s. so they've been tracking this for several days, but one of the differences here, this is not unprecedented. the chinese have had surveillance balloons like this, and in fact, they've even come close and gone into the continental u.s. the difference here is this one straight into th

courtney, the balloon was at one point over montana. >> reporter: that's right. it was seen over billings, yesterday. a defense official tells us the high altitude surveillance balloon has been monitored by the pentagon for several days wednesday defense secretary lloyd austin and military leaders discussed options, including shooting it down they decided the debris could be dangerous to civilians and president biden agreed china has not confirmed it's their spy balloon. officials say the balloon has limited intelligence value and is not a threat to people on the ground or to aircraft it comes as tensions with china are high with fears of a possible invasion of taiwan and just as secretary of state blinken is expected to travel to china in the next few days for high-level talks. >> courtney, thank you for that update. >>> also developing this evening, a murder mystery in new jersey where a local councilwoman was found shot to death in her car last night ron allen is there with late details. >> reporter: around 7:30 p.m., police responding to a 911 call about shot

i want to bring in nbc's courtney kube. capitol hill correspondent ali vitali, and retired four star general barry mccaffrey, and msnbc military analyst. the big question we don't know, where did this thing come from? was it china given what we saw with the chinese surveillance balloon last week. still no answer to that key question. >> we don't know who sent it, who it belongs to or what it was. there's a couple of big differences we have been learning about. one is the altitude. this one posed a threat to civilian and military aircraft, and people, there were some questions there about how it was detected and when. remember, norad and northcom, one of their major jobs and responsibilities is to track aircraft over north american airspace. that's about the same altitude aircraft are flying. stands to reason this would have been more easily tracked potentially. it was a lot smaller than the chinese surveillance balloon we learned about last week. that means two things, number one, if they were to take it down, it wouldn't h

courtney kube, thank you. >>> the u.s. secretary of state blinken was supposed to travel to china for this weekend for an historic visit with president xi, but after the discovery of the balloon, he postponed his trip. ryan nobles is at the white house with how the biden administration is reacting. ryan. >> reporter: peter, good morning. president biden has yet to publicly weigh in on the situation with the chinese spy balloon. playing down the threat. letting the state department and pentagon do most of the talking. it is clear that they are taking this issue very seriously and part because as you mentioned the secretary of state blinken postponing his anticipated trip to china that had been scheduled for today. that hasn't been enough for republicans who are using this incident as an opportunity to hammer president biden for being too soft on china criticizing the decision to not bring it down. meanwhile, officials in congress are looking for answers how this happened. peter. >> ryan nobles at the white house. thank you.

and from brussels, nbc news pentagon correspondent, courtney. on the subject of whether this is going to be policy, we know there's a lot of stuff out there. flying junk, whatever you want to call it, this is spotted by airmen and women. we have the report of ufo sightings. over 500 of them spotted by our troops. so if we're changing the radar to see these things more easily, changing the sensitivity of the radar, we'll be seeing them more often. does that mean we're going to be shooting them down more often? >> so defense officials would argue there's been no change in policy given the recent events of the past two weeks. they would say anytime there is something perceived as a threat to the u.s., whether it's in the air so to civilian and military aviation. on the ground to people or infrastructure on the ground, or anything that's seen as a national security threat. so if you have something that may be surveilling, sites that could be used for nefarious purposes, if any of those three are met, they would argue they have the ability to act. if

military's efforts to support ukraine courtney? >> no. you will remember that back in march, about a year ago, the u.s. declared not crimes against humanity, the war crimes, they believe that russia was guilty of war crimes. this is a step beyond that. basically, what that means is that they have the belief that russia is conducting these war crimes on a more systemic or wide basis. then simply the declaration of war crimes. it doesn't change, in fact frankly, this kind of declaration i think what it is going to do is only embolden the u.s. efforts to supply ukraine with what they need. defensive capabilities, anything that they need. one thing that i'm really hearing a lot alex is just this unbelievable support for ukraine for a long term. these long term commitments. the people who were saying things at the same conference last year who maybe seemed a little bit on the fence, this year they are completely all in for a long term commitment. i have to tell you, it is striking how much the language has changed in just one year from here. i

pentagon correspondent, courtney kube. peter, let's start with you, you were able to get some questions off camera. can you tell us a little bit about what you asked him and what more he said about this government effort led by the nsa to have a policy in place for what's in the skies above us? >> reporter: because there was shooting in the room, he couldn't hear my question. after he left, the president called me on my cell phone about 20 minutes ago so that i could ask those questions so i want to share with you what i asked him and what he told you, specifically i asked him, over reaction, of aerial objects and whether he was responding to political pressure. some of the president's critics have suggested. i'm going to read from my notes in that conversation. the political pressure would have been easier not to do it because i got a recommendation from the military that they should do it. it turns out, he said that now, we understand there's further information, the reason i did not hold a press conference earlier is i

courtney, china says the suspected spy balloon over the u.s. is a civilian airship used for weather research. just as canada says it is monitoring a potential second incident. we're likely to hear more from the pentagon at noon, but walk us through what we know at this hour. >> so we know this high altitude surveillance balloon has been over canada and the united states for the past several days. during that entire time the u.s. military has been tracking it and watching its movement, trying to figure out how capable this is of gathering intelligence. it got to the point where they were so concerned that secretary of defense lloyd austin on wednesday convened this meeting with his senior leaders. austin was in manila at the time, so in the middle of the night, he brought together the chairman of the joint chiefs, the head of north common norad, he called them all together and said let's figure out what this thing is doing and where it could be heading and whether action needs to be taken. when they discussed the possible courses of action to ta

but that promise wasn't enough for courtney. is looking for another child care provider. >> bottom line is we can't trust them with our children. >> that really is the bottom line. she wants to find an administration at a school she can trust to educate and care for her children properly. she's looking for a more diverse student body. she also said she doesn't understand why this happened, how it could slip through the cracks. she says she understands teachers have the freedom to choose their activities but at another location to celebrate black history month, the students were painting traffic signals, learning about garrett morgan, a black inventor who got a patent for the first traffic signal in 1923. their activity was to paint traffic light pictures. they painted their faces black. >> and the teacher had no idea why that would be offensive. >> and she's now going to teach the team about multicultural issue, so she'll be learning as she teaches. outrageous. >> i hope more parents pull their kids out of that. thank you so muc

courtney, which super bowl advertiser company would you buy?ing at all throughout history the different super bowl ads. you have these companies that come out and do not fare well afterwards pepsi does not tend to have that same fate. they're more of your stable companies. this is a company who has good earnings growth. they pay a good dividend they just increased their dividend for the 51st consecutive year they've been able to increase their prices you brought up doritos last segment. they've been able to raise their price and consumers are coming there. i think this is the kind of stock you're going to want from this environment they have a few good ads they have a really good doritos one. they have some good zoolander references with ben stiller. check those out. they're great. they're already on youtube. >> it's great to get these sneak previews of these commercials. you're stuck in the tv in the first couple minutes i like two things. i like first of all that t-mobile is always right there in the super bowl. i like t-mobile as a stock i r

let me go to nbc news' courtney kube where world journalists are at a security conference. talk about the need to set new parameters. obviously, we can't imagine a world that anything that's not identified gets shot down immediately. is there a pressure within the military to come up with hard, fast rules with how they react to these? >> and i think this is not just going to be for the military, but this will be wider including the faa. a decision about not just changing the radar parameters again, but looking at some of the smaller, maybe slower moving objects and rather than immediately scrambling, but having some sort of a specific checklist of what to do. but i have to say, lester, there were two things that stuck out to me in the president's remarks. one was the very last line that he said before he walked away and that was that he makes no apologies for shooting down that balloon. he didn't mention the other three objects. he specifically said he didn't apologize for shooting down the one balloon. he didn't say whether he thought it was an overreaction or the three fo
