"The United States should not have a domain awareness gap," Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez, D-N.J., told reporters, echoing the phrasing U.S. Northern Command commander Gen. Glen VanHerck used to explain why the military did not detect previous balloons in real time. "We have to be able to understand everything that may be coming toward our country, in every dimension -- space, continental parts of our country. And so that's something that I think we need to be working on."
