Seems less valuable data for SAR but For optical or ELINT, way better.Correct me if I'm wrong but imaging radar and SAR do benefit from low altitude as power of the radar require increase with the square of distance. That's why Soviet ocean reconnaissance satellite had reactors since they needed a lot of power for the radar and to supply such power with solar panels would rapidly degrade their orbit due to drag since they have low orbits to decrease the altitude.
So if you do radar imaging from a balloon it follows you could shrink down the power of the radar even further? Rapid Cloud for example might be something that works on this principle:
I tell you those Chinese super computers just calculated the complete course of the balloon to end up over US nuclear sites.
Maybe that is why the US is so against China's semi development, they want to prevent China from calculating when they should force a butterfly to flap its wing to create a tornado in the US.

Looks like both of my theories were correct, Blinken bragging about meeting Xi was totally fake news, especially since China didn't even officially accept his trip. It is even more interesting since Blinken was supposed to go to Beijing on Feb 5th, which is also the day of the lantern festival, he would have no doubt been greeted with thousands of hot air balloons
For some extra fun and mischief for those of us in the west, why not light up some super cheap sky lanterns these few nights. Would definitely keep some people on the edge

Any Chinese object in the sky even a 248 gram drone is now a grave national suckerity threats
Its officially call American Exceptionalism
Both sides are doing it. The pentagon has acknowledge it happen in the past, the only reason this is in the news now is because some civilians caught it and reported about it which force official acknowledgement.
Yes, once the mission is done there's no way to bring them down in a controlled manner. They usually end up bursting eventually atmosphere and then come down.
Given hundreds more civilian balloons are launched than military balloons I'd be very surprised if it was military. It certainly wasn't designed to drift slowly over American ICBM sites to monitor them.
The fact that this is receiving such disproportionate mainstream media attention indicates this episode is being used as a Cold War style psyop. Intimidate the American people into thinking the Chinese are deliberately sending in dangerous military balloons. How long until a journalist writes a story claiming the balloon could have carried a nuclear warhead?
Even if it is discounted later the idea is planted.
This twitter reply on this balloon thing is a more plausible explanation as to how and why these balloons ended up in continental U.S.
As usual, there's a hanjian/FLG/Taiwanese rebel cunt egging the American hysteria on Twitter thread.

No one can release a balloon in China and predict where it will go well enough to pass over a target in the U.S. No one. No how. Never. That's not how this works. If China can make a balloon "linger" and aim it at U.S. sites from thousands of miles away, we should surrender now.

Exactly why should we let China have one over Montana? Or where ever it is now.

We didn't "let" them. They didn't send it. That's just where the wind took it. China has the second largest space program on the planet, bigger than Russia, and spy satellites on par with the U.S. They are not sending balloons in hopes they'll randomly drift over something good.
