These reviews are your LOL of the day.
For this product: Nballoon 28 ft / 336 inch 1000g Giant Professional Weather Balloon For Meteorological Investigation Aerial Video Holiday Party Decoration Entertainment Toys Huge Balloons, Natural
3.0 out of 5 stars Vulnerable to airstrikes
Inflated well, no punctures prior to flight. Helium was expensive. When I got to around 60,000 feet some guy in a F22 showed up and ruined my kids birthday party.
Tethered my new iPhone to it by putting it in a potato chip container. Was shot down by a AIM-9X missile. Lost all my scientific measurements and iPhone. :( The warranty does not cover this type of damage either. Currently trying to contact US/Canadian authorities but no response yet.
I loved how you can watch these traverse the atmosphere and have attached payloads. They can haul something the size of a car or school bus and will still stay aloft at 40-60,000 feet. You can listen to ground sounds and communication, attach cameras for surveying, or just have fun with it. The best part is when the F-22 flys overhead and launches its Aim9X at it and obliterates it into confetti overhead in magnificent fashion. Totally worth the hundred bucks to see a half million dollar air show.
Product is here for 'media' looking for story:

Hilarious.
gropey joe's handlers and media: "Quick, focus on the ecological disaster that is killing animals in East Palistine - curse you, greedy railroads and Trump - but which is perfectly safe for humans. Go on, drink the water."
almost as good as the review for the wolf shirts...
The media still hasn’t even mentioned this aspect of how much the AIM9X missile cost just to shoot down a damn balloon. Haven’t heard even 1 news person bring this up yet. It’s the 800 pound gorilla in the room.
Well, the good news?
Not even the Democrats in East Palestine are drinking the KoolAid if its made with the local water.
Not just that the CCP can deplete our entire stock of Sidewinder missiles with $1,000 of mylar and helium ...
No, it seems that both the media and the military have fallen into the same technological traps that have ensnared people since the beginning of time.
that was a fun read
It was brought up on Fox Business channel. They said it wasn’t armed so it was a bit less expensive.
I understand that Macy’s Day Parade has been identified by the White House as a target-rich environment.
From the link’s Q&A:
Question:Will this get shot down by a missile if I launch it?
Answer:Depends on location. If in the south I would say your chances could be high it would get shot down. In mainly democratic run states you should be fine

Just tie something metal, along with a stuffed Winnie-the-Pooh to it for authenticity. Happy ballooning!

Doubt it.. we should send a bunch of balloons to China.

Send one up for a cool Military Air Show, maybe put a “Made In China” sticker on too.

Consider taking a couple of minutes and marking each and every review “helpful” to further inflate (pun intended) the statistics.
I thought of that story for several years now. We seem to be headed to defeat like in the book.
The Chinese are probably getting some thousands of weather balloons ready now for simultaneous release. They like/love messing with the U.S., and they have the resources to do something like this. Especially if it is just an innocent part of some important national holiday like, say…May Day?
Watch to the west.
