Assuming it's like a weather balloon they can reach an altitude as high as 100,000', thats roughly 20 miles up. I know you think that guns are a solution to everything, good luck!Montana has lots of people with deer rifles...

You're close!10 miles up is space, right?
You still believe in space?10 miles up is space, right?
Sounds like a challenge to me!Apparently taking out a balloon isn't as easy as it would seem.

Almost 25 years ago, a large runaway weather balloon proved to be quite challenge a for a pair of fighter jets trying to shoot it down, staying in the air even after more than 1,000 rounds were fired at it.
- About 25 years ago, a rogue weather balloon wouldn't come down after over 1,000 rounds were fired at it.
- The balloon entered Icelandic air space and drifted north towards Norway.
- Balloons, like the suspected Chinese "spy balloon" over the US, don't always pop or explode when shot.
The research balloon was measuring ozone levels above Canada, the Associated Press reported at the time. It went rogue in August 1998, passing across Canada, over the Atlantic Ocean, and through British airspace before entering Iceland's airspace and then drifting northward.
Two Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 fighter aircraft spotted the balloon over Newfoundland and fired more than 1,000 rounds at it. The AP reported that the jets, Canadian variants of the American F/A-18 Hornet, hit the balloon, but rather than popping or exploding and crashing to the earth, it slowly began leaking helium. The big balloon was still in the air.

The Prisoner had its moments.
The Prisoner is a 1967 British television series about an unnamed British intelligence agent who is abducted and imprisoned in a mysterious coastal village, where his captors designate him as Number Six and try to find out why he abruptly resigned from his job.[2] Patrick McGoohan played the lead role as Number Six. The series was created by McGoohan with possible contributions from George Markstein.[3] Episode plots have elements of science fiction, allegory, and psychological drama, as well as spy fiction.[4] It was produced by Everyman Films for distribution by Lew Grade's ITC Entertainment.[4]
A major theme of the series is individualism, as represented by Number Six, versus collectivism, as represented by Number Two and the others in the Village. McGoohan stated that the series aimed to demonstrate a balance between the two points.[11]
Heard it changed direction after passing over the a**hole of America aka New Jersey, even from 20 miles up it can determine its somewhere that even the Chinese don't want to claim.“The United States government has detected and is tracking a high-altitude surveillance balloon that is over the continental United States right now,” Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told NBC News. “We continue to track and monitor it closely.”

Exactly. Seen lots of memes pointing out how many millions of people are on TikTok, and we are worried about a balloon spying on what exactly
Agree.That’s it. I’m calling bullshit on this whole thing.
The “official” story makes zero sense.
An extra 100 probablyI trip out on how people can exist inside of a body that size.
That guy is carry and extra 50 pounds
I just got a little gut and it's really uncomfortable.
