Entirely too much attention is paid to hypersonics, the amount of weight isn't practical for a balloon over such long distances, it survives by such high altitudes.
Spying is also a red herring, China is not deficient in satellites.
Bioweapons are light, this is the most likely use. And trial runs are a thing.
EMP going off at the same altitude as the balloon is ideal. Again, it'd need the weight of the warhead, but not a separate delivery system thus making this use slightly more practical.
I don't believe for a minute that all its electronics were destroyed, that would tell what its purpose was. They just don't want us to know.
Do you not understand the concept. It can be fitted with anything. You could have an object using part balloon, upper atmosphere, stealth, and part thrust to elevate it, manoeuvre it, and align it, carrying bigger payloads.
I don't really care what it was. Outside of making light of the topic.
Spy satellites are often tracked, out of orbit, easier to spot. At least now where Russia and India and a few others have successfully fired from ground to satellite destroying them, making appropriate missiles, look up those toys. These balloons are often in the blind spot, upper atmosphere. The same as hypersonic glide, which aren't re-entry vehicles. Re-entry vehicles spotted and calibrated by missile defense, on leaving orbit aligning and re-entering, but we'd all hate to actually test it. Hence like cruise, maneuverability, stealth, but cruise are becoming more detected by ground radar, trails and signatures, hypersonics are beating missile defenses, not only by their speeds, but that glide from the blind spot. Where it sooner takes lasers defense, or better countermeasures.
Who knows what it was doing. Except it shouldn't be doing it. Even as a weather balloon wasn't permitted access. And is still spying.
Bio weapon yawn. Potential but not enough to contaminate a continent, and then it hits China back in the face, if the contaminates hit the atmosphere and jetstreams.

You skip over lift. That's not something you can skip. If you've got mechanized lift it's not a balloon, it defeats the whole purpose of using a balloon.
There is no blind spot, just a question of recalibrating radar for what they weren't used to picking up.

Obviously it was. From Alaska to off the S Carolina coast. And bioweapons have the problem of concentration. 125,000 feet is enough of a problem, around the world would either dissipate to not a problem at all or a massive error in planning. After turning wuflu loose your idea is hilarious..
You are a monkey and your brain works like a fucking retard. Everything you said is gibberish.
I don't need an explanation from a monkey. I didn't ask a dumb monkey.
What radar recalibrated? It's like a lil dumb monkey wrote that. Okay guys time to recalibrate the radar, and it takes a bind spot. You autistic monkey.
As far as balloons went, go read the description, before stating it cannot be balloon. God damn it.
Zee bioweapons again, what. You think like autistic monkey. The atmosphere destroys them before they, glad to hear how they don't work. Dumbass. You have brain like monkey. Nothing you wrote is clever. It sounded like onk onk onk.
You have attacked everything I said. Personally downvoting it, being rude. I have tolerated your gibberish and bullshit and hostility enough. You are a monkey.
I don't want to repeat those points. Detected in atmosphere is nukes returned against biological warfare. Not to mention their own citizens hit in an attack from where. But aside any contaminates are in the streams. Unless they're detected by nukes.
Balloon description can cover almost anything. It simply needs a ballooning hallmark.
Radar blind spots are outwitted by a number of stealth systems. But the debate becomes tracking hypersonics moving so fast, even if detected has to intercept and in what time frame. Much less than an object observed and re-entering. The speed in atmosphere forms a layer of plasma beating most radar systems until it's too late. Same as other cruise missiles beating older systems. No reaction time. Better systems are adapting. But the hypersonic is beating most missile defenses currently, and most radar. As far as upper atmosphere objects go they have much less detection, and there are jammers. Without saying. But there is radar tracking everything from asteroids to spy satellites.
Don't you dare mince my words into that other gibberish again.

No need to mince your words, you can't write. If you can comprehend, you can't convey that.
