Talking Where's The Balloon?

Rumour has it, a large met balloon was running riot over UK airspace and the boys in light blue were having a hard time trying to "burst" it. Anyone know any more? What are these things made from (aluminium foil?), what damage could they cause, how do you bring them down, also how are they supposed to operate in the first place? I do have several ideas mostly gleaned from common sense but hopefully there's someone who actually knows..............:d
