You all have it wrong, it's just a weather balloon trust the Chinese, not, but really think about it, how many things have you brought in your life that is Chinese made and it has broken or worn out within a short time of use.
Maybe the same thing is happening with their Chinese made spy satellite's they keep breaking down and now they are turning back the clock and using old technology that they know works.
Or maybe there is no more room for all these satellite's that is above us and the risk of colliding that they trying new ways of spying.
Nuclear bombs cost a lot of money to produce, we just send bolloons over with a deadly virus, no they already done that sending their own people around the world, no need for balloons.
I am sure what ever it was used for we will never know, there will always be a cover up or they might come out and say, that was a good idea never would have thought that would work.
Who would know as I am sure you or me will never know the truth.
