Not sure who “they” are but it’s sad we can’t trust a damn thing our government tells us these days if that’s who “they” is referring to. I’d also lay even odds “they” put them there or just said that jockeying for some sort of political ends.

It likely had an altimeter initiator so that if it was coming down, it would blow up at a set altitude to destroy anything sensitive before we could get our hands on it.

Who believes anything that our gov't puts out? I consider everything they say to be a lie.

Probably something like it had trace "explosive residue" on it like the excuse they use to pull grandma out of the TSA line while Moohammed Alashama Shamamalala walks by without a second look.

Explosives to make sure the new Pfizer virus is spread far and wide. Not to destroy buildings, electronics and infrastructure. Just to kill people.

Considering the source, why does anyone believe any of the details of this distraction?

Nope.

I no longer have any confidence in the United States of America's ability to discern a real threat and to defend or respond to that threat in an intelligent manner.

So, nope. I vote that the USA take no action, other than to hold accountable those US Govt paid lackeys whose job it was to detect this threat before it got here.

We love to watch Tom Cruise movies about how great the US Navy pilots are BUT the reality of the situation is that an enemy can float a balloon over our innocent civilians and harm them and our "Tom Cruises" would have no idea what happened, and, if they did, they would probably try to hide the truth from us in order to save their own skins.

PS I am quite certain that no US Govt official will be held accountable for failing to defend the US Homeland against a foreign enemy's Armed Attack against us using balloons.
