China claims is an errant meteorological balloon, and there are agreements that cover those that the CCP are trying to exploit.
This isn't really a technical/intel danger, so much as a dick-waving move using 'science' as an excuse.
If it was over water I'd say knock it down and send the CCP the bill for the missile, but it's stayed over land for a lot of it's journey.
It was over Missouri last night, so it's probably near the east coast now.
And I do think the CCP can visually ID the RQ-180s, at minimum.
its a spy ballon I don't even judge China for using them, it is a part of the game and getting pissy about it is imature and petty. But I dislike being openly lied to.
