They believed the object shot down Friday was a balloon, but a Defense Dept official said it broke into pieces when it hit the frozen sea, which added to the mystery of whether it was indeed a balloon, a drone or something else. The object shot down by the U.S. today "did not appear to have any surveillance equipment, a US official says"
I was just reading about that. Smaller than the balloon. Yet, they they thought it was a balloon until it broke up in the water.
It was some kind of blimp.
