I was listening to some journalists actually ask some really good questions of the Pentagon representative. Such as have these objects been identified before missiles are fired at them? And the pentagon’s official’s response? Ummm, well, no.

Wouldn't an MG round have been enough for a balloon.

I was completely unaware of our using balloons in this fashion. I agree the balloons should be shot down, should we encounter anymore. That's after gleening any intelligence we can from them. |

Only if you would be able to puncture the top of the envelope. These are low pressure envelopes so it would not pop like an elastic balloon. The bad news is that with such a leak, it would be very difficult to predict where it will land/crash. You can imagine the number of lawyers in the US just waiting for such a thing.

A Dirigible should be able to reach that altitude. All it would need is a magnifying glass strapped to it. Pop goes the weasel.
