Someone got to him with a question getting the standard, "C'mon man! Give me a break." before he walked out.Dan Scott said:

So why did he have them shot down?!nortex97 said:
Update, he's live. Slurring, tracked 3 unidentified objects, blah blah, "at their recommendation I gave the order to take down…"
Blah blah, allowed us to take them down safely. Our intelligence committee is still assessing all 3 objects. Don't know exactly what they were, nothing suggests related to China or surveillance from any other country. Most likely private companies, recreation, or scientific research."

(So, it was just pico balloons.). Partially because we have increased our radars, err, narrowed our radars.

We will establish a better inventory of unmanned objects in our airspace.
Second, we will, talk.
Third, we will update regulations for detecting.
Fourth, sec. Of state will work to establish a global 'mont' in this space.
That's my job as commander in chief. Since I came to office, we have developed an ability to track these high tech surveillance balloons from china. I ordered it shot down as soon as possible, and the military told me it was too dangerous, so we tracked it closely to learn it's capabilities, and waited until it was safely over the Atlantic because I am a ****ing moron, excuse me, we sent a clear message this was unacceptable. 6 firms who support the People's republic liberation army, excuse me, people's liberation aerospace program.
Vanilla ice cream is my favorite. Go eagles. I look forward to the Super Bowl tomorrow. President Obama and I will keep our allies and congress informed of what we learn, and uh, I expect to grovel to President Xi to apologize sometime for shooting his balloon down. Thank you.

"PICO means "small" and is used to differentiate a segment of ballooning that is not associated with high altitude or weather balloons"94chem said:
WTH does "pico" mean? I had to look at about 50 webpages just to find out what I already knew - pico means 10^-12. So, things that are on the pico scale are small. I get it. But a typical bond in a chemical is about 1 angstrom, or 10^-10 meters. So, pico makes zero sense is the context of a balloon. The balloons aren't 1/100th the length of a carbon-hydrogen bond.

Ex AF guy said on Levin, it should have been shot down by C130 guns, as the way it was done was difficult and overkill.
