time on hbo max. join us here on cnn the week after the super bowl to find out who is talking next. welcome back to the 8:00 hour of the cnn newsroom. i m jim acosta in washington. we begin with more breaking news. some of the first images we have seen of possible debris from that chinese spy balloon downed yesterday off the coast of south carolina. this video was shot by a south carolina resident just coming in this evening. this resident told cnn he saw a navy boat carrying what he believed to be debris from the balloon. cnn cannot independently confirm whether this is indeed debris from that balloon. we are reaching out to the u.s. navy for comment. in the meantime, this comes at the same time we are learning new details about when the pentagon learned about the balloon and when the president was informed about it. more on that in a moment. i want to begin in north myrtle beach, south carolina, and the focus of the recovery efforts. ca carlos, what can you tell us abou
