Where has it been positively proven that it was a balloon?
All we know at the moment is what has been reported by the F22 pilot which isn't much.
If it was 'the size of a car' at 40,000ft (the sort of level at which drones operate) it could have been a drone on a pre-programmed track so that its guidance couldn't be jammed or altered.
