Tonight, several developing stories as we come on the air: news coming in about the suspected Chinese spy balloon hovering over the U.S. Where it is now, and will there be a window to shoot it down? Also tonight, the dangerous, life-threatening cold moving into the Northeast. The live readings already, first the Pentagon tracking that Chinese balloon, the intelligence bay hanging beneath it, the size of three buses. Where it was spotted today over the U.S., where it's believed to be headed now, 60,000 feet in the air. Will the U.S. shoot this down? Secretary of State Antony Blinken postponing his high-stakes trip to China. Mola Lenghi and Mary Bruce are standing by at the White House. The deadly cold already tonight, the National Weather Service is calling it a once-in-a-generation arctic blast. Twenty-five million Americans in multiple states, including New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston, with wind-chill readings in Maine expected to reach 60 below zero and where the wind chill is already 106 degrees below zero tonight. Victor Oquendo is in Massachusetts, and Rob Marciano is timing this out. The deadly assault on an E.R. doctor riding his mountain bike. Police say the suspect in his car hit the victim, then allegedly got out and attacked him. Matt Gutman is reporting. Another scare at the airport, this time in Newark, with two passenger jets clipping wings, one plane full of passengers. The stunning and unexpected jobs report tonight, with President Biden celebrating the numbers. The unemployment rate not this low since 1969. So, how does this complicate steps by the Fed moving forward? Rebecca Jarvis, as always, is breaking it down. The Alex Murdaugh double-murder trial and the defense team, and what a ballistics expert acknowledged today. And tonight, the story of Alex Murdaugh's housekeeper dying in a fall at the home. What the family says they never knew. Prosecutors say Murdaugh got a $5 million payout from a policy that covered the housekeeper's fall. But will the jury hear about it? Eva Pilgrim is reporting. Robin Roberts tonight and her epic jump from New Zealand, the birthplace of the bungee jump, jumping from the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. Tonight, the lesson on conquering fear. Good evening. It is great to have you with us on a Friday night. Almost to the weekend, but it will be brutally cold, dangerous, life-threatening cold. The readings are coming in right now, and where the wind chill is already more than 100 degrees below zero. That's in a moment here. But we begin with the Chinese spy balloon hovering over the U.S. tonight. China claims it is a weather balloon that blew off course. U.S. authorities believe this is a surveillance balloon being maneuvered by China, likely using spy satellites. Today, the balloon was spotted over Missouri. So where is it tonight, and where do U.S. authorities believe it's headed? Among the first sightings over Billings, Montana. That intelligence bay hanging beneath the balloon is the size of three buses. The Pentagon tonight is discussing whether or not to shoot it down, and will there be a small window of opportunity to do just that? We will learn more tonight. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is postponing his high-stakes trip to Beijing, calling China's actions unacceptable. So, will this be shot down? If so, where? And what is China saying tonight? Mary Bruce is at the White House, and ABC's Mola Lenghi is leading us off tonight in Montana.

Correct the punctuation, capitalization and spelling of "WE GOT THAT BALLOON IN SIGHT ALSO. LOOKS LIKE IT'S WAY UP THERE, MAYBE 50,000 FEET OR SO. Reporter: THE BALLOON IS HUGE WITH A TECHNOLOGY BAY ATTACHED BELOW THAT IS ITSELF THE SIZE OF THREE BUSSES, LOADED WITH HIGH RESOLUTION CAMERAS, ACCORDING TO A SENIOR U.S. OFFICIAL, EQUIPPED WITH WHAT APPEAR TO BE SOLAR PANELS ON THE SIDE THAT COULD POWER ITS TECHNOLOGY. IT FIRST ENTERED AMERICAN AIRSPACE OVER ALASKA, THEN FLYING INTO SOUTHWEST CANADA BEFORE DIPPING DOWN OVER BILLINGS, MONTANA. THIS THING IS UP IN THE SKY. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT? THAT THING IS NOT THE MOON. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. Reporter: MONTANA REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN RYAN ZINKE WAS BLUNT, TWEETING 'SHOOT. IT. DOWN.' THE PENTAGON TODAY SAYIG THAT OPTION WAS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED, FOR NOW. WE ASSESSED THAT CURRENTLY IT DOES NOT POSE A PHYSICAL OR MILITARY RISK TO PEOPLE ON THE GROUND. FOR NOW WE ARE CONTINUING TO MONITOR AND REVIEW OPTIONS. Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY SAYING PRESIDENT BIDEN AGREED WITH THE PENTAGON'S STRONG RECOMMENDATION. THE RISKS INVOLVED WITH SHOOTING DOWN THE BALLOON JUST TOO GREAT. ANY POTENTIAL DEBRIS FIELD WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE CIVILIAN INJURIES OR DEATHS OR SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE. Reporter: FOR ITS PART, CHINA INSISTING TODAY THE BALLOON IS NOT A SPY VESSEL AT ALL BUT A CIVILIAN AIRSHIP USED FOR RESEARCH, MAINLY METEOROLOGICAL PURPOSES. THE PENTAGON FLATLY REJECTING THAT CLAIM. WE ARE AWARE OF THE PRC'S STATEMENT. HOWEVER, THE FACT IS, WE KNOW THAT IT'S A SURVEILLANCE PBALLO. WE HAVE CLEARLY COMMUNICATED THAT THIS BALLOON IS VIOLATING U.S. AIR SPACE AND INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THAT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. Reporter: CHINA SAYS THE BALLOON DEVIATED FAR FROM ITS PLANNED COURSE, BUT THE PENTAGON QUESTIONING THAT AS WELL, SAYING THE BALLOON CAN BE MANEUVERED. A SENIOR U.S. OFFICIAL TELLING ABC NEWS, IT'S LIKELY BEING NAVIGATED WITH SPY SATELLITES. THIS ALL HAPPENING AS SECRETARY OF STATE ANTONY BLINKEN PREPARED FOR A WEEKEND TRIP TO BEIJING. THAT VISIT NOW CANCELED. IN LIGHT OF CHINA'S UNACCEPTABLE ACTION, I AM POSTPONING MY PLANNED TRAVEL THIS WEEKEND TO CHINA. WE CONCLUDED THAT CONDITIONS WERE NOT CONDUCIVE FOR A CONSTRUCTIVE VISIT AT THIS TIME. Reporter: THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER FOREIGN SURVEILLANCE BALLOONS ABOVE THE U.S., BUT NONE LIKE THIS. WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT IS THE DURATION AND THE LENGTH OF WHICH IT HAS BEEN OVER U.S. TERRITORY. Reporter: THE PENTAGON SAYS THE BALLOON IS EXPECTED TO LINGER ABOVE AMERICA FOR A FEW DAYS. THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING. LET'S BRING IN MOLA LENGHI. HE'S IN BILLINGS, MONTANA, FOR US AGAIN TONIGHT. THAT STATE WITH SEVERAL SENSITIVE NUCLEAR SITES. AS YOU REPORTED, U.S. AUTHORITIES SAY THE BALLOON IS LIKELY NAVIGATED BY CHINESE SATELLITES. THE PENTAGON SAYS THEY'VE DECIDED NOT TO SHOOT IT DOWN AT THIS POINT, BUT THAT OPTION ISN'T COMPLETELY OFF THE TABLE? Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT, DAVID, A U.S. OFFICIAL FAMILIAR WITH THE SITUATION SAYS THE CURRENT THINKING IS TO WAIT FOR THE BALLOON TO DRIFT OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AND THEN SHOOT IT DOWN ONCE IT'S OVER U.S. TERRITORYIAL WATERS. THAT WAY YOU CAN AVOID INJURIES ON THE GROUND, AND TWO, RETRIEVE THE BALLOON, STUDY IT, AND ULTIMATELY EXPLOIT THE INTELLIGENCE. DAVID, TONIGHT CHINA SAYS IT REGRETS THE UNINTENDED ENTRY OF THE AIR SHIP INTO U.S. AIR SPACE, BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, NOT EXACTLY FLYING WITH U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY OFFICIALS WHO ARE CALLING THIS UNACCEPTABLE. MOLA LENGHI, THANK YOU. LET'S BRING IN MARY BRUCE. PRESIDENT BIDEN CHOSE NOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS TODAY, TRYING NOT TO ENFLAME THE SITUATION. WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TONIGHT? OBVIOUSLY THE PRESIDENT CONTINUING TO BE BRIEFED. AND ON MOLA'S POINT, IF YOU SHOT THIS DOWN OVER U.S. WATERS, THAT STILL IS A SMALL WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO PULL THIS OFF. Reporter: YES, DAVID. WE KNOW THE PRESIDENT IS BEING REGULARLY BRIEFED."

"We got that balloon in sight also. Looks like it's way up there, maybe 50,000 feet or so," said the reporter. "The balloon is huge with a technology bay attached below that is itself the size of three buses, loaded with high-resolution cameras," according to a senior U.S. official. "Equipped with what appear to be solar panels on the side that could power its technology. It first entered American airspace over Alaska, then flying into Southwest Canada before dipping down over Billings, Montana. This thing is up in the sky. What the heck is that? That thing is not the moon. Any help would be appreciated," said the reporter. Montana Republican Congressman Ryan Zinke was blunt, tweeting 'Shoot. It. Down.' The Pentagon today saying that option was considered and rejected, for now. "We assessed that currently it does not pose a physical or military risk to people on the ground. For now, we are continuing to monitor and review options," said the reporter. The White House today saying President Biden agreed with the Pentagon's strong recommendation. "The risks involved with shooting down the balloon just too great. Any potential debris field would be significant and potentially cause civilian injuries or deaths or significant property damage," said the reporter. For its part, China insisting today the balloon is not a spy vessel at all but a civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological purposes. The Pentagon flatly rejecting that claim. "We are aware of the PRC's statement. However, the fact is, we know that it's a surveillance balloon. We have clearly communicated that this balloon is violating U.S. airspace and international law and that this is unacceptable," said the reporter. China says the balloon deviated far from its planned course, but the Pentagon questioning that as well, saying the balloon can be maneuvered. A senior U.S. official telling ABC News, it's likely being navigated with spy satellites. This all happening as Secretary of State Antony Blinken prepared for a weekend trip to Beijing. That visit now canceled. "In light of China's unacceptable action, I am postponing my planned travel this weekend to China. We concluded that conditions were not conducive for a constructive visit at this time," said the reporter. There have been other foreign surveillance balloons above the U.S., but none like this. "What makes this different is the duration and the length of which it has been over U.S. territory," said the reporter. The Pentagon says the balloon is expected to linger above America for a few days. "This is really something," said the reporter. "Let's bring in Mola Lenghi. He's in Billings, Montana, for us again tonight. That state with several sensitive nuclear sites. As you reported, U.S. authorities say the balloon is likely navigated by Chinese satellites. The Pentagon says they've decided not to shoot it down at this point, but that option isn't completely off the table?" said the reporter. "That's right, David. A U.S. official familiar with the situation says the current thinking is to wait for the balloon to drift over the Atlantic Ocean and then shoot it down once it's over U.S. territorial waters. That way you can avoid injuries on the ground, and two, retrieve the balloon, study it, and ultimately exploit the intelligence. David, tonight China says it regrets the unintended entry of the airship into U.S. airspace, but as you can imagine, not exactly flying with U.S. national security officials who are calling this unacceptable," said Mola Lenghi. "Let's bring in Mary Bruce. President Biden chose not to talk about this today, trying not to inflame the situation. What are you learning from the White House tonight? Obviously, the president continuing

His team presented him with all options, including the possible military action to take the balloon down. Now, initially, Biden was advised against that because of the concern over civilian risk, but tonight we have learned that option may be back on the table. One source is telling us that the thinking here is to wait until the balloon goes out to see and then shoot it down, but this is very tricky. They would have just 12 nautical miles to do this before entering international waters and certainly don't want to start an international incident over this. Tonight we are told the White House is keeping communications to China open, but even though Beijing expressed regret, it was not enough to salvage Secretary Blinken's trip. What is clear is that this is only further escalating tensions between our two countries. Yeah, no question. You mentioned those 12 nautical miles would be the opportunity. Mary, thank you. Of course, the other major concern is the concern over this dangerous, life-threatening cold. They're calling it a once-in-a-generation Arctic blast that has already turned deadly tonight. 25 million Americans in ten states, wind chills below zero in Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. And look at this tonight. This is the view from a camera on Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. They've already set a preliminary record at this hour. The wind chill moments ago was 106 degrees below zero. If confirmed, it's the coldest windchill ever recorded in the U.S., including Alaska. Snow squalls along with that Arctic chill. A time-lapse from Vermont. A cold emergency is in place in Boston. This is through Sunday now. Rob Marciano is standing by to time this out, and ABC's Victor Oquendo is in Boston where the wind chill is 13 below zero right now.
Tonight, millions of families are in the midst of what the National Weather Service is calling a "once-in-a-generation" Arctic blast. We're seeing wind chills right now, which are already below zero, and before the night's over with, these are going to drop even more. Parts of New England are expecting wind chills at or near 60 below zero. Outside Springfield, Massachusetts, as winds gusting above 50 miles per hour, a tree crashed onto a car, killing a 6-month-old girl inside. The woman driving rushed to the hospital. In Boston, pilots battling high winds as they landed at Logan Airport. We're going to load food and stuff in here. And outreach teams hitting the streets to care for the needy.

The housekeeper's son testifying Murdaugh offered her children about $100,000 each. They had no idea he got more than $4 million from his insurance company. They didn't learn of it until after the murders.

"Did you give him permission to steal your money?" "No."
The ballistics expert did testify that old shell casings found on the family's property matched the markings of those found near Maggie's body, suggesting that one of the missing murder weapons had been fired on the property before. David? Eva Pilgrim tonight, thank you.

And this report is really a signal that the Fed's eight interest rate hikes in a row have not led, as of yet, to any kind of recession or major instability in the economy, and it really, David, acts as a green light to the Federal Reserve to continue hiking interest rates ahead in its fight against inflation.

Overall, these results are extremely impressive and suggest LLMs could be a powerful tool for cleaning up human-generated closed captioning, adding proper capitalization and correcting punctuation and typographical errors. The truncation issue appears to be related to output length – switching the smaller chunks appears to fix it. Results, including the insertion of carriage returns and choices like "health-care" versus "healthcare" do differ over runs, but overall, these results suggest tremendous opportunity for improving the readability of existing large human-generated captioning archives.
