There is an awful lot of darkness in the winter in these latitudes. It is somewhat troubling that there is such a short window as part of the necessity of assessing whether there is a kinetic threat.
Let me get to that point.
In earlier testimony we heard that General VanHerck was confident that there was no kinetic threat on the first balloon, the PRC-confirmed balloon that was shot down later. If it was determined that there was no kinetic threat, how was he able to make that call so early? Can you walk us through how this happened?
