Does anyone track all the legit weather balloons? I feel like pretty soon now someone is going to realize there are hundreds or thousands of innocuous civilian owned objects that the Pentagon doesn't have real-time knowledge of and shooting them down willy-nilly is going to make for a big brouhaha.

I am not able to categorize how they stay aloft. It could be a gaseous type of balloon inside a structure, or it could be some type of a propulsion system. But clearly they’re able to stay aloft."
