Just what type of sensitive information are these things capable of gathering?

Was wondering that yesterday. They could be taking photographs of military bases, but satellites can do that. I doubt we get any info, but I guess the answer would lie in the debris that’s collected.

This right here, they'll cut through the major cities like a hot knife through butter but the rural areas will be a much tougher task.

No worries. The Chinese are just doing a flyover to assess all of the US soil that they own.

Now they know we won't shoot it down over US soil, so next time the balloon will include an EMP that will take out our entire grid

Could be images (still or video), as it is my understanding that the spy sats the Chicoms have aren't super high resolution.

I've also seen speculation that it was gathering sigint because a balloon at that altitude can pick up radio waves much easier than a satellite can.

I've also seen speculation that the second balloon that was crossing Central America was some type of relay station for the one crossing CONUS.

Does anyone know if they collected it? Or was it shredded by the missile and sunk to the bottom?

The balloons may have also carried devices capable of spreading malicious computer worms like the Stuxnet virus...eg, we shoot it down over soil, and the virus somehow jumps onto devices on the ground, and spreads from there...

Or it was just a hoax to see how we would react...

I heard one military expert say they can see what they want from satellites…
This was lower and they were listening…

I think they are working on technology for disrupting our commerce… banking …infrastructure… and methods to tap into it..

Doing it in other continents also…

Fwiw.

They’re collecting the debris. The debris field is around 7 miles, which is why they said they didn’t shoot it down over mainland.
