  1. Sadly it didn't get shot down until after it completed it's mission of surveillance and reconnaissance of multiple military sites in the US Sites that maintain high quality aircraft and nuclear weapons mind you And they did that all without loosing a single man in the process, I'm not praising to CCP understand they are horrible but I am saying they succeeded and they did it with relatively low-risk using archaic methods which is astounding

  2. Maybe? But this object was detected long before it ever reached the US And given it's at least 3x the size of a standard hot air balloon and even hot air balloons will show up on radar there is no doubt in my mind it was detected and tracked but again unannounced to the public Untill the public discovered it on its own

  4. Yes and no, the US government and the DoD was already aware of this object long before it reached the US shores However they didn't want to let the CCP know that they could easily track these objects, kind of like how back in WW2 Winston Churchill didn't want to let the Germans know he already cracked the enigma and was reading their messages That's why they wanted to let it go as they were themselves building intelligence countermeasures based upon how the Chinese government does its own intelligence gathering And it was only brought into the public conversation once commercial aircraft discovered and reported it

  5. They mentioned it briefly, the US Military and the US government at arge they didn't want the Chinese to know that they were already tracking these balloons There's a lot of intelligence you can gather from an adversary currently trying to gather intelligence on yourself The US government knew of this balloon when it reached the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, the US public unfortunately didn't learn about it until it reaching Montana when it was reported by a commercial aircraft

  6. That would be a good idea yet China would just ignore it, I mean China literally ignored the World Court when the Philippines successfully brought international law upon them for illegally taking sovereign territory internationally recognized as belonging to the Philippines You think they'll cave into compliance over a bill of cost regarding this balloon? Highly unlikely
