Sounds plausible!
I would not put anything the Biden Regime would do to try to control all of us!
It's so obvious to many Now that don't even follow this like we do!

Too many customers are outrage! Me, being in the public everyday,none admits ever voting for the FAUX prez Byedone!

Maybe its just East Texas? Still many see what we see and even more,recognize how bad a situation we are as a Country.

Honestly, if I was China and I saw how much panic one balloon caused to Biden and the US media, I would just be launching hundreds of balloons every day with nothing on them, just plain large helium balloons, and then sit back and laugh as the administration wastes missiles and makes fools of themselves.

How long before they shoot down a bona fide weather balloon?
They already shot down an amateur balloon.

In September it was at the lowest point since 1984.
See bottom link.

Basic Info. US Crude Oil in the Strategic Petroleum
Reserve Stocks is at a current level of 371.58M, unchanged
from 371.58M last week and down from 587.52M one year ago.
This is a change of 0.00% from last week and -36.75% from
one year ago. LINK

Over time the U.S. government began to fill the reserve. At
its high point in 2010, the level reach 726.6 million
barrels. Since December 1984, the level has never been
lower than 450 million barrels — until now.

Maybe a cheap drone with razor blades on the rotors?
Maybe equipped with a flame thrower, or an incendiary device?

What does one of these balloons weigh?
Does it have any kind of power?
A gallon of water weighs about 7.2 lbs. What would it
weigh in outer space where the balloons are flying?
