That one was flying around 60,000ft and weighed probably about 1 ton. Very different kind of balloon.

It was shot down by an F22 with an AIM-9 Air-to-air missile. This is the highest altitude air-to-air kill known, and the first combat kill of the F22 platform.

What a meek first kill. The F-22 is meant to attack swarms of Chinese fighters over the South China Sea. One day it will.

Maybe it'll be over my house. Oh goody I'll get to watch!!
