Residents in Billings, Montana, reported an 'explosion in the sky' after US officials warned of a Chinese spy balloon flying over the region.
Bizarre video of the aftermath shows a trail of smoke in the sky where the balloon was last spotted.
Dolly Moore, who took video of the scene, said she 'saw a jet go by so fast and then explosion in the sky. '

That woman reporting “seeing a jet go by” then a massive explosion in the sky,That may well have been a sonic boom. Any A-A missile would have a 44 pound warhead which wouldn't create a "massive explosion" if detonated at 60K feet.
All that considered, whatever the payload on the balloon was may have exploded when hit by a missile.
Can't wait for more details.

Does our military even know how to shoot it down? With what and how? Fire a missile at it and hope it explodes? It’s just a big plastic/visqueen ball of helium!

Odds are it’s compartmentalized so that if one cell pops the rest don’t. Our JLENS blimps use the same concept.
But, an A2A or G2A missile could damage multiple cells with a single missile.
Just food for thought.

The taker of this video (Dolly Moore) is now VERY popular with the media desiring to get her approval for use of her video.
Good heads-up work, Dolly.

RE: ”That one we shoot down”.
Grimly humorous juxtaposition.
The wimpy excuse I first heard earlier was “we are worried about debris falling on the inhabited area below.”
I think most people would say “Just shoot it down.”
Put the pieces in Area 51 or that Wright Patterson hangar like the UFO.

Does Brandon have a cigarette holder? MacArthur had one. Still lost the convention vote to Eisenhower.

Watch her video. A sonic boom doesn’t create a flash.

It has a large radar cross section, so it could certainly be targeted and destroyed. Of course you then have debris from both the balloon and the missile coming down.

It’s just a big plastic/visqueen ball of helium! Probably, but maybe not.
Could be filled with chemical weapons, or who knows what, including an EMP.
Might be best to capture it, and analyze.

I thought the spy balloon was over Kansas, by today.
Did it ‘circle back’?
