Perhaps I got the stories mixed up. In any case, we know it wasn't a "spy" balloon so continuing to refer to it as such is disingenuous and reveals that the author's arguments are not being made in good faith.

At least one of the other balloons shot down was the hobbyst.

For some reason like four balloons were shot down by the US that week. The first was from China, but it did not collect data.
