Can’t be heavy. Use a helicopter with a long cable. hook the thing to control where it goes. Cut it open to deflate and land it.That's what I was thinking. Maybe a Coast Guard or Army Chopper.

How large a net could be stretched between a couple of helicopters and snag this thing? Would that work?

The downwash off a helicopter would be a real problem, even with a long cable.

Problem with that is by tearing the balloon it could lose control before the hook grabs anything.
