Qone0, Because the payload would be less damaged hitting water. If they really wanted to preserve the payload, they should have just shot at the balloon instead of firing on the equipment with a Sidewinder. This story is just plain bizarre. Tenchusatsu

I did dimwit. Why would China send a spy balloon over at altitude that could be seen with the naked eye, guaranteeing that it would be discovered before it flew over any sensitive sites? It wasn't discovered until it was stationary over a Montana Intelligence facility. Neither of us know how high it was before then(or how low), nor do we know much else except the "weather" excuse is painfully thin logic. So the purpose of the balloon was not to spy, but to test another capability? Weather is bogus, so what's the alternative? Looking for Hunter's missing laptop the Russian's stole?
