Looks like it's going to fly very close to Fort Bragg (home of JSOC) and then very close to Camp Lejune and the huge Army sea port in Wilmington (that has lots of weapons storage).
In other news, when they sent the hyper-sonic missile around the world, the Chinese also claimed they had made significant advances in 6G Terahertz Wave communications which allows them to communicate with hyper-sonic weapons in flight. While the balloon is clearly not a hyper-sonic weapon, the technology could possibly be used to offload intelligence gathering in real time.
Oh but ya see, we're probably jamming that, ya see . . . let's just wait on the intelligence from the professional liars
