But, he said, the U.S. is using some of those fighter jets to"take a peek" at the balloon in its efforts to keep monitoring it."If you had a hundred or 200 pounds of stuff and that came tumbling down from a high altitude, that wouldn't be very good for whatever it landed on.""We shouldn't let this thing be floating above our ICBM fields, or really over the U.S.
"It's hard for me to believe that if we were putting a balloon over China and they had the capacity to take it down, that they wouldn't do so," he said. "If we recovered it in some capacity, we take it apart and perhaps learn something about [China's] own signals intelligence, or whatever the payload is," Karako said.that the balloon's owner has"put it over the continental United States for an extended period of time."Canada also says it's monitoring a high-altitude surveillance balloon, though it's not clear if it's the same one.

If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. More gaslighting this is the same NPR that published an article about burning any books in your library from a white author, regardless, of who or what.
My goodness a scary balloon. Lets pull our diplomats!
Sounds like we’re going to try to retrieve it.
Removing the balloon 'would immediately demonstrate US displeasure & payload could yield important information…take it apart, perhaps learn about [China's] own signals intelligence, or whatever the payload is' He dismissed China's characterization of craft as a weather balloon.
