I wonder if the military tried to hit it and couldn't with conventional stuff. I saw someone somewhere speculate the PLA and friends were trying to elicit a shoot down with a laser, so they could get a look at our laser tech.

I'd also want to gauge what my adversary would do as a result of my attacks. How many aircraft might sortie. How many missile silos are active. How long would it take for my enemy to respond.
I might use a balloon with some kit to monitor and report this type of info. Prior to any offensive actions.

And now we have 450 people on flightradar24.com following a Piper Archer just north of Billings. Heh.
And speaking of heh, a balloon is showing up on the same site over Georgia drifting at 62,000'. If you click to pull up the details, under aircraft type, it says, "Sorry, this is not a Chinese balloon".
Turns out it's registered as N257TH as a U.S. aircraft.

After more than a year, my command has finally dropped the requirement that those of us who remain in the control group be singled out for coof testing during "medium transmission" weeks, be excluded from smaller meetings for not showing our "papers," be excluded from larger meetings altogether, etc.
The injection edict from the Fuckface-in-Chief for those of us in the goobermint still remains in place and blocked by a year+ long injunction. I decided to join the suit against him and Darth Austin out of spite at this point since I've pretty much decided that I've had enough and am seeking another career in the coming months.

altitudes above 60,000 feet are class E airspace. That means that, if you are lucky enough to have an aircraft that flies that high, once you get there you could theoretically call ATC, cancel your flight plan and continue VFR above flight level 600 without ATC supervision. _Bing

Years ago North Dakota put up a Billboard on I-94 heading west into Montana. Sign said, "Stay in North Dakota, Custer was alive when he left". Referring to Lt. Col. Custer's demise at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
Montana reciprocated with a Billboard of their own on I-94 heading east in to North Dakota that looked like a North Dakota highway construction sign. Sign said, " Welcome to North Dakota, mountain removal project complete. Your tax dollars at work ."

The F-22 and other fighters can reach this altitude, but only the F-22 can perform tactical maneuvers at this level, which is about twice the altitude at which other jets can perform tactical maneuvers.

there was an old farmer who had a sweet corn patch that promised to do well, and he had heard that if he froze the blanched ears in condoms they would stay fresh in the freezer longer. When the ears were getting mature, he went to the local pharmacy and asked for the largest box of condoms they had. The pharmacist handed over a box labled "100 condoms" The farmer thanked him and went back to his farm.
On Saturday and Sunday the farmer and his wife picked, shucked, blanched and froze the ears, and they stopped when they ran out of condoms. The wife counted and told the farmer that he'd been cheated, they only had 98 ears prepared.
On Monday, the farmer went back and told the pharmacist that the box he got sold was two condoms short, he only got 98. The pharmacist went to the stock room and came back with two condoms, handed them to farmer, and courteously said, "And I hope I didn't ruin your weekend."

Maybe it's 400 miles but the amount of debris is not enough to matter. You're talking about a screw in mile one. Maybe a solar panel in mile six. 400 miles sounds scary but if we're talking about a dumpster full of debris, it's inconsequential.

Wife had a crafty business for a while and was on the front of the Local section of a decent size newspaper with her products and a nice human interest type story about her and her journey and reasons for the business, etc.
Being honest, her story is nice, but far from particularly noteworthy or incredible - I mean don't get me wrong, they certainly did a good job on the article.
Anyway about three years later we were at one of the local craft fairs, a decent size one, and a woman comes up to her table and says out of nowhere, "You're on my fridge!! I read that article and found your story so inspiring I put you up there where I would see you every day because you're a real go-getter!"

Problem: it's 60k feet up. That's no joke. Lasers are probably the only way from the ground and that's gonna need a lot of juice. I have a feeling that the DOTFED knows everyone that owns a rig with that power.
Another way would be another balloon launched like 2 days ago to intercept it with a 'barbed wire' mesh net payload. Again, more problems because that would violate any number of FAA regs and it would definitely be shot down by the DOTFED.
Rocket with a 'barbed wire' mesh net payload: again the DOTFED knows the people that can and do that sort of amateur launch.

Columbia was a solid mass ship traveling at high speed that exploded internally. This is a balloon that is moving slower than Brandon on a good day. It's going to take 60 hours to meander from St Louis to the Atlantic.

And we'd have an extremely low yield - yet not a zero yield - nuke airburst that we gave ourselves. Not a bad idea, if it held a bio-weapon. But exactly the kind of response that this regime - and any other regime in my lifetime - simply will not make.
I think that's what the Chinese are doing. Showing us they can float something over, with some limited guidance and control, that can drop "something".
The question is why ? And why did an Air Force general start spouting about war with China just last week ? Especially when the Chinese own McConnell, Pelosi, at least a part of the Clintons, the NBA, and a good chunk of Hollywood ?

When I was still working for a paycheck in manufacturing, you'd get these managers strolling around trying to apply such subjective philosophy to real world shit. And believe me, there was a decade or so where really upward moving dudes really did try to apply The Art of War to - say - an assembly line.

What would be hilarious would be them taking a parody photo of the 1947 one of Jesse Marcel holding up pieces of a 'weather balloon' that ended up on the front page of local newspapers.
It would be poking fun at two governments.

Wiki says 60,000 feet for the Strike Eagle. Of course, it's Wiki, so it might not be accurate. But I'd be inclined to think it's correct unless anyone can point to a conflicting source.
Also, DCS has announced that the Strike Eagle module will be going up for pre-order later this month.

Jack - you know why bosses love Sun Tzu so much ? Seriously ? Because that philosophy only works if you're in control. Sun Tzu is fucking crack cocaine to managers.
Let's start at the beginning. It's better to capture an enemy than destroy him ? Fabulous - but what happens when you don't have that luxury - because you don't have overwhelming force ? Well, best get down to killing and being killed.
Everything Sun Tzu ever wrote is based upon controlling the battlefield. How to maximize your win, assuming you've done all the nasty shit required to win. It's not a formula for success. Sun Tzu would have been the first motivational speaker. Or life coach.
That you had a boss "sit you down, to explain it" is absolutely perfect.

Too bad they couldn't find a museum'd GENIE rocket, and put a new propellant load, nuke core and all the triggers and fail safes re-aligned.
Failing that, the Navy might have to find a way to boost an ASROC torpedo to altitude? /s

Shit like that is exactly why you don't misapply Sun Tzu to - say - your wedding night. Or a fist fight when the bully is coming straight at you. Or a million other situations.

60k altitude would have been toying with the target. And the Terrier acceleration rates would have been (and still are)...impressive.
Yeah, Standard Missile ends up faster, higher, and far, FAR more accurate.
