The U.S. Navy and Coast Guard have deployed several ships to secure a large perimeter around the area where the balloon is believed to have fallen. The ships are equipped with advanced sonar and radar systems to search the ocean floor for any sign of the balloon or its debris. The ships are also carrying specialized divers who will be tasked with diving into the water to physically retrieve the balloon pieces.
The U.S. Navy and Coast Guard are working closely with scientists and researchers from the institution that released the balloon, to ensure that every piece of the balloon is retrieved and disposed of safely. The teams are working around the clock to locate the balloon and its debris, and to retrieve it as quickly as possible.
This search and secure operation is a testament to the commitment and capability of the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard to respond to complex and dangerous situations. The teams are working tirelessly to ensure the safety of the ocean, its inhabitants, and the environment, and to retrieve the balloon pieces so that the valuable scientific data it contains can be analyzed and used to further our understanding of the upper atmosphere.
