The only thing that would float are pieces of the balloon envelope.
They payload and associated framing and the solar panels would all sink.
There’s nothing of value to retrieve anyway, after being blown up by an AIM-9X Sidewinder, then plummeting 65,000 feet and slamming into the ocean surface.

But... but... but. What will they do without that valuable weather information?

Fact that it is around 2,000 pounds is evidence that the Chicoms meant business. First reports sounded like a youth’s remote control plane size. Not at all.

Since it was a simple weather balloon launched by someone TOTALLY not the government, China shouldn’t WANT it back. RIGHT?
To: nickcarraway
Just return it to Walmart.

Hey man, that balloon was made out of some really nice genuine Chinese silk. That stuff can be sold off to the right person for a few bucks, who can repurpose it into some really cool neckties, handkerchiefs, and high-markup lingerie, enough to gross a few million bucks if it's retailed the right way.
Ten percent for the big guy, of course.

The USN should do the same as the ChiComs did with the USN EP-3 in 2001. Return it, after a THOROUGH, months-long examination, in pieces, and charge the ChiComs for freight, salaries of all people working on the detection of, downing of, recovery of, inspection of, and return of, the balloon. Of course, the cost of one unarmed Sidewinder, fuel and all other costs associated with the F22. Then add in an additional $50 million for ‘incidentals’ and ‘aggravation’. (Pedo Joe’s ‘taste’ not included.)

Well, this section of debris either came from the spy balloon, or from something purchased at Walmart.
To: nickcarraway
Funny thing; I don’t really believe China or my own U.S. government about what the balloon actually was.

Weather wasn’t a problem today. I saw 3 ships moving around the horizon at about the correct distance all day today. Still see their lights out there now.

How brave after you used a missile on it to destroy any evidence.
