Why not just take a spare drone and rip it open while it is over the US and nobody has claimed it to be his? Say it just crashed.
I think this balloon intrusion is intended to become a political trade object versus US overflights of "their" (claimed) eastern pacific reefs and through "their" (claimed to be chinese) international airspace.
