China's "Weather Balloon"
Ok ladies & gentlemen, opinion time, do ya think it's actually a weather balloon, or is it spy apparatus? Do ya think our military should shoot it down or let it be? Given that there is now also one reported over south america, does that bolster / disprove either way whether it's intentional or accidental that they are here?

Looks from reporting these were not the first balloon's China has sent up. I say shoot it down and retrieve over the ocean.
My questions are, we had to of known when it was launched if not then why? If known why was it ever allowed to reach the USA?

I suspect it is indeed a spy balloon, but we (nor anybody else) has the (known) ability to shoot down a stratospheric balloon. It's far higher than a fighter jet can fly and missiles won't explode upon hitting it and cannon-fire will pass straight through it. If we have an unknown capability of shooting it down, we may not want to reveal it to our adversaries.

BREAKING: Military officials investigating whether Chinese spy balloon released a “chemical cloud” that turned every Republican with a Twitter account into an expert on espionage and air defense.

If it turns out it was just a weather balloon blown off course, Whell’s World will be ranting about wasting taxpayer dollars to shoot it down.
