Biden reveals new rules when tracking down unidentified flying objects

The White House is taking a lot of questions over the Chinese spy balloon shoot-down. And now the Biden administration is announcing new rules on tracking and monitoring unidentified flying objects. Our DC Bureau Chief Ben Kennedy live at the White House with the latest on this developing story. Ben. Nicole Lloyd, those new rules you were talking about will be in place in a matter of days that will outline when and when not to shoot down objects. It comes to the FBI analyzes debris from the Chinese spy balloon. NSC's John Kirby joined the White House briefing Friday to talk about aerial objects shot down by the U.

S. as the administration prepares to roll out new protocols, sharper rules to track, monitor and take down unowned flying objects. We'll transmit these parameters within coming days. It won't be very, very long. In the meantime, President Biden addressed the nation Thursday, saying he makes no apologies and stands by his call to shoot down the objects, which U.S. intel now indicates are benign.

These three objects were most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studying weather or conducting other scientific research. Unlike China's balloon that was part of a broader surveillance program, as the White House announced the recovery operation in that case is over, with all debris sent to an FBI lab. And it's quite a bit. This is a significant amount, including the payload structure as well as some of the electronics and the optics. And the FBI will report back to President Biden on what they find and it comes as he prepares to travel to Poland on Monday to mark the one-year anniversary of Russia's war in Ukraine. That is the latest here live at the White House. And thank you.
