It really is a crazy looking ‘balloon’
My gut when I first saw it was ISS
ISS passing in front of the moon?
It’s so obviously Chinese, just look at it, stands out a mile, it has that unmistakable China look!!! How could anyone possibly think otherwise? Even has “Made in China” stamped on it
PS. Don’t tell anyone it might be Russian, North Korean, or Richard Branson 
Just like every other consumer product in the world. 
I have just had the motherboard on my old Alienware laptop replaced by Dell. I was looking over the removed board and noticed that it was stamped with “Made in China”. How American is that

Wonder if there is any way to capture it intact? 60,000 might make that challenging though. Maybe punch a small hole it in so it slowly loses altitude.
It would be nice to reverse engineer one of their devices for a change.

They could. The CIA / Navy have used the The Fulton surface-to-air recovery system as far back as the 1960s. It shouldn’t been much harder to make it work for a balloon ? Maybe lol

Oh this is totally [Insert conspiracy theory] they’re totally looking for [arbitrary thing picked out from circumstance]. But “they” don’t want you to know that adjusts tin foil hat
Seriously though it’s actually probably just swamp gas

It’s Aviation – Now all we need is a Captain Sim “Spy Balloon” –
If only there was already a suitable Balloon in MSFS to copy !!
The last forum reorganization created a new subcategory for real life aviation.
Although, this borderlines it.
As long as politics stay out of the topic, it’s OK.
