#2 Images of the trail would indicate a large meteor similar to the Chelyabinsk meteor.

#3 Seems to me, a single cannon round would puncture the balloon causing it to descend to earth where we would surreptitiously examine it and then return the lost property to its Chinese owners. Extra points for catching the descending balloon mid-air.

What would the Chinese do in a similar situation?

#5 Point of Order:

For my Bingo card, can I put Ming the Merciless, or does that count as double entendre and must be separated out into a second Chinese Steampunk?

#6 If we had a whatever worthy of the thing...

While en route to and from who knows where,
"[blink] Balloon Disappeared in Midair!"
But returned pretty soon
When it rose on 4 June
Like full moon over Tiananmen Square.

#8 Citizen Free Press has a link to a Forbes article on why its almost impossible to down a high altitude balloon. Any smart guys have a sense of how accurate it is?

I still remain curious about the Canadian sighting observation of a second balloon on the same general track and how it might fit into this report.

Busting That Chinese Balloon is Harder Than You Think

#9 Another from the Daily Mail:

ANOTHER Chinese spy balloon is spotted: Mystery 'surveillance device' floated over Costa Rica before reaching Venezuela, the Pentagon confirms amid frenzy over airbone spyware in the air over the United States

Second Chinese spy balloon was spotted over Latin America, officials confirmed

Pentagon said it does not appear the balloon is heading into the United States

It comes after a different Chinese balloon hovered over Montana and Missouri
