inb4 it's their own weather balloon that they lost track of
not sure why the Chinese would even use balloons for this; their surveillance satellites are able to track and trace individual vehicles

Imagine being so scared and paranoid of a weather balloon you want to shoot it down

I have to go with Jiggaboo on this one and call weather balloon. It would be a real shitty way to gather intel if it can't be guided, hell you can look at US military installations on google earth. lol

“It is a civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological, purposes. Affected by the Westerlies and with limited self-steering capability, the airship deviated far from its planned course. The Chinese side regrets the unintended entry of the airship into US airspace due to force majeure,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
US believes China doesn't have control over movements of suspected spy balloon and it relies on jet stream
uughhh ya think???
