Mystery objects/ Balloons over north America


apparently not so easy to do or we just need more practise?
The AP reported that the jets, Canadian variants of the American F/A-18 Hornet, hit the balloon, but rather than popping or exploding and crashing to the earth, it slowly began leaking helium. The big balloon was still in the air.
They could dump thousands of rounds into it, but it's not going to pop like a birthday balloon. All it will do is drift down slower than normal.
 
NOTAM is up for airspace off the Carolinas. A couple of tankers are circling, a Coast Guard herc’s been hanging out, an LSD is sailing down the coast, and I read that fighters are up. Might be piñata time.
 
Not to mention the stencil on the side of the jet…
