don’t shoot it down as that might well destroy valuable equipment and instruments aboard. Bring it down intact. With all we do in our aviation and space programs surely it can be done!!!

presser did not answer how it “was manueverable”.

Could it be nuclear? Shooting it down would be like an EMP? I am sure I am not the only ignorant person wondering the same thing..

Get a heavy-lift helicopter there. Toss grappling hook, hook the balloon, and tow it to wherever. Put holes in the balloon with a shotgun when over a good place.
