 Good afternoon everyone. Thanks very much for your patience while we were delayed a little bit I have a few things to talk about up top and then we'll get right to your questions So first of all to add to information already provided Earlier by the White House at the direction of the president of the United States fighter aircraft assigned to US northern command successfully took down a high altitude airborne object off the northern coast of Alaska at 1 45 p.m. Eastern Standard Time today within US sovereign airspace over US territorial water on February 9 North American Aerospace Defense Command detected an object on ground radar and further investigated and identified the object using fighter aircraft The object was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight US northern command is beginning recovery operations now We have no further details about the object at this time including any description of its capabilities purpose or origin The object was about the size of a small car so not similar in size or shape To the high altitude surveillance balloon that was taken down off the coast of South Carolina on February 4 What hasn't been said is where this object has come from is there any indication that this was also a Chinese surveillance Balloon object, whatever it is. Yeah, so at this point, we don't know the origin of the object Again, we will know more once we're able to potentially recover some of those materials But the primary concern again was the potential hazard to civil flight And so again, we'll know more later. Thank you separately US northern command continues their recovery operations in support of the recent takedown of the Chinese high altitude surveillance balloon recovery teams have mapped the debris field And are in the process of searching for and identifying debris on the ocean floor Debris that's been recovered so far as being loaded on the vessels taken ashore catalogued and then moved onwards to labs for subsequent analysis and while I won't go into specifics due to classification reasons I can say that we have located a Significant amount of debris so far that will prove helpful to our further understanding of this balloon and its surveillance capabilities Really quick when it was started to be tracked last night. Were you able to tell what direction it was coming from? This this was traveling in a northeasterly direction When it was taken down and then one more the aircrafts that were observing it. What what type of aircrafts for those? I'll have to come back to you on I think I know but I don't want to make it up from the podium So we'll come back to you on that one. Okay. Thank you very much everybody. I appreciate it
