The balloon could not be shot down until it lost altitude over the Atlantic. Fighter jets can’t go that high. It doesn’t reflect for radar, has no heat exhaust, and is not metal. In other words, the only way to shoot it down is a line-of-sight rocket. I suggest these balloons are a weapons test to see if a US attack can be undetected biological or nuclear.
What if a balloon like that one could sneak in and drop a bunch of fake reduced price coupons for Chick-fil-A? It would ruin all of the franchises and imagine the massive drive-thru lines…. #WeCouldOnlyWish
A poor country has Rocket Man, while the Chinese, with the world’s second largest economy, have merely a balloon. Something is not right here, or is it? It took Big Sky Country to find it. The Cold War gave us Open Skies. Big Country gave us: ‘The Crossing’, while the Germans: ’99 Red Balloons’…. Oh, and don’t forget about that little European boy who chased the red balloon. I had to watch that one once during a school assembly, and I still don’t know why…. And, let’s not forget about the time ‘Balloon Boy’ threw-up on the Today Show. What does it all mean?…. Perhaps, I’m making too much of it…. But don’t burst my bubble…. Say, there goes my balloon:
“That’s what they said about Roswell, too”…. “And then soon after we developed, the transistor, microwave ovens, and Jiffy Pop Butter Popcorn”….
This ain’t the first time something from the Far East has treaded on our sacred lands:

i suspect that the stampede is throwing games on saturdays so chick-fil-a doesn’t have to give away free sandwiches.
