What US investigators might learn from Chinese balloon debris
Investigators will be seeking clues on why a balloon of Chinese origin flew over US airspace last week when they recover the wreckage of the aircraft.
Experts who spoke to the BBC said the balloon's contents are key to uncovering its purpose and capabilities. Mr Boyd said that, if rescue teams recover enough of the instrumentation, they will likely be able to know how much information it contained, what kind of information was being processed and if any processed data had been or was being sent back to China.
"It would be very surprising if there's any technology on that platform that the US does not already have some equivalent form of, but it does give the potential to give the intelligence services here an understanding of the technological maturity that the Chinese have for these kinds of applications," he said.
China, like the US, is a "pretty smart adversary", and also probably planned for the aircraft to self destruct or scramble data as a part of the spy espionage mission, Dr Falco said.
