Sure

I hope so. That would mean that we finally learned and developed a response.
I hope it was with a laser instead of an expensive missile.

But dont they need several days of it flying over every military installation in the lower 48 to "observe" it?

Biden’s military acts because the State Governors said they would shoot if another balloon came over. They are in a corner. Ha ha. Xi won’t be happy with his “big guy”.

Must be a heat wave this week in Alaska.
I was told shooting down balloons when it's cold is too dangerous

The U.S. military shot down an "object" that was flying in territorial waters over Alaska, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said on Friday afternoon during a White House press briefing.
"I can confirm that the Department of Defense was tracking a high altitude object over Alaska airspace in the last 24 hours out. The object was flying at an altitude of 40,000 feet and posed a reasonable threat to the safety of civilian flight. Out of an abundance of caution and the recommendation of the Pentagon, President Biden ordered the military to down the object. And they did. And it came in inside our territorial waters," Kirby said.

Bet it had nothing to do with Chinese research.

I feel like we are playing out an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
