It's not really the balloon....
I would have thought an encounter with the instrument package at the wrong height and in the wrong spot (like straight into an intake) would be not that different from a bird strike. If it can dent a Canberra's leading edge, it can make a mess inside an engine.
Does anybody have a description/spec of what is in the typical instrument package?
