OOPS! Chinese spy balloon gathered info of US military sites and sent it back to China. Why the US government decided to hold off shooting it down is an puzzle.

At the time, the U.S. government said it waited to shoot the balloon down until it was over the ocean to avoid any damage or casualties on the ground. The balloon, which was nearly as large as three school buses, would have had a large debris field that U.S. officials could not control as it fell to the earth.

“U.S. military commanders had determined downing the balloon while over land posed an undue risk to people across a wide area due to the size and altitude of the balloon and its surveillance payload,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement after the balloon was downed.

Officials have tried to reconstruct the balloon from the recovered debris
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

They could have shot it down over Canada where there's no people. Although, I do understand why they waited until over the ocean to make sure of no casualties.

As we already know, behind the ScEnes there are questions lurking in the mud, to paraphrase Claudius. Probably some ulterior motive that the cleaner, spic-n-span minds have a hard time dealing with as they’re not in that murky wavelength.
