Funny thing, google had a program called “Project Loon” which sent balloons all over the world, with communications gear attached beneath. Google’s Project Loon balloons circled the globe in a nine-year project, and from what can be determined, no one ever complained or shot a balloon down. Also, the balloons regularly crashed over land and there is no known case of anyone being hurt by a balloon or its gear.
The balloons were sent from a Google-owned base in Winnemucca, Nevada. Google discontinued the project because the results were disappointing/ unpredictable, with balloons wandering off course and crashing, fairly regularly.

Although google claimed to be setting up internet hubs via the balloons, the communications and experimental gear attached below could have been used for anything. Google has roots in CIA spymaster venture capital corp In-Q-tel, thus China could have easily maintained that google’s Project Loon balloons were launched as spy balloons.
Bottom line… China has better “spy balloons” than google? No doubt! Maybe that is why more US taxpayer useless Fed $$ are being wasted by the US Navy to find the remains of the balloon from China, that could apparently do… what Google cannot!

Mr Brown, I thought about the same thing when I first heard of the “BALOON!”
