      Why can't a world's number one in technology and military force the landing of a "Balloon". After landing the US can strip and study it before returning it back to China?
      By shoting it down the US had set a precedent. China will reserve the right to take down any foreign object violating her territories which includes SCS.

      Then the US announced a date themselves without asking if Xi jinping and teams have the time to meet them.
      🤣🤣🤣
      👇👇👇
      On Feb 4, China officially told the world: China & USA never had a joint announcement about Blinken’s visits. !!!

      Or they just wanted the missile to hit the balloon. Contrary to popular belief, it takes time to turn. The pilot kept going straight because he would have pulled an unnecessary amount of Gs to go any other direction after firing the missile. The only time you would do that is if you’re in a combat situation so unless the balloon is shooting back, there’s no need to potentially injure the pilot or damage the aircraft

    Thing is, if this balloon was engaged in reconnaissance activities, or is suspected of doing so in another countries airspace, they have every right to take swift and robust action by engaging that potential threat. If it turns out to be a weather balloon as indicated by China, then I'm sure the United States government will compensate the company for which it belongs. In today's climate, particularly in relation to the war in Ukraine and the immediate threat to Taiwan by the Chinese, no western country is willing to take any risks, and rightly so.

    Sensor packages work better in atmosphere than on satellites just due to range. The possibility of looking at underground facilities is very real with new developed technologies. The balloon could also be waiting to scan the aircraft sent to shoot it and gather electronic information on the missile and sensor package of the f-22... I'm just guessing of course but it's interesting.

      Most likely the intelligence they would have tried to glean would be signals intelligence. Things like radio transmissions and other electromagnetic emissions from our military installations and hardware. By having the ability to loiter for days over the US with some ability to maneuver as it passed critical installations, the possibility for higher fidelity signals intelligence gathering was there. Albeit, I am sure the US took plenty of steps to minimize military activities, communications, emissions, visible hardware (in case of imaging capability), and may have even taken active steps to try and interfere with its communication abilities.

Conventional artillery couldn’t work because the pilot would have to shoot facing up into the stratosphere, not to mention there was the risk of hitting the payload and causing damage that would render it beyond analysis by the military/CIA. Instead, there must have been some sort of heat emanating from the balloon, probably from its propulsion system (propellers) that allowed for a sidewinder to lock-on to instead.

    The US military can hide stuff, when a satellite orbits above it. A small balloon like this will be harder to notice and could slip in unnoticed. Interesting they took it out using a Sidewinder which is a heatseeker, there was probably a small engine onboard used for propulsion, otherwise, its surface would have been too cold to lock on, which convinces me more that it really wasn't a weather balloon.
