Could have been solar and electric motor.

Shoulda shot it down when it was over Alaska.

But I read, from some military expert dumbass that you can’t shoot a balloon down.......

One hell of an electric motor and propeller to propel a 200 foot balloon with an alleged payload of 2,000 pounds thru the jet stream and navigate thru the ever changing wind currents.......

Never happened, we're being played just like the raid on the Benghazi compound was caused by an anti-Muslim video.

What exactly could an electric motor power that would push that balloon in a determined direction?

It certainly wouldn't be a propeller since the the atmosphere at 68,000 feet isn't dense enough for the propeller to push against.
