I wonder just what the tactical purpose was for the ccp sending a balloon through our country's airspace. They did it for a reason. Testing a low tech delivery system possibly?

Testing the speed of response?
Testing how good the airspace is under control?

I have to be very careful about what I say regarding this subject, but I agree with you.

The President said in a PBS interview this evening the military wanted to maximize the amount of intelligence they could glean from it while it was floating by, and to maximize the amount of salvageable debris they could collect by dropping it over water.

Only debunk I can think of is the pilot was scouting the recovery site visually.
Alternatively not a good week to be showcasing the new Magnachinachev.
