The military woke up apparently and nailed the latest Chicom aircraft (likely a smaller, propeller-driven, solar-powered aerial drone this time) with a missile BEFORE it traveled very far into our air space. It's likely that the reason the government is not talking about why the balloon was not shot down before it had already traversed thousands of miles over US territory is that they DIDN'T SEE IT until then, and couldn't shoot it down over inhabited areas without risk to people on the ground. It would be giving the Chicoms too much information to reveal when and where it was actually detected (especially if it somehow passed through air defense radars). That information would be valuable to the Chicoms so it can't be revealed. Better to keep them guessing. It's encouraging that the latest object (spy craft) was apparently much smaller than the first, which suggests that aerial sensors are able to detect even small incursions by objects that don't have a lot of mass. Anything like an EMP weapon would have to be fairly massive because an EMP requires heavy hardware (it is essentially a thermonuclear weapon). So-called "suitcase nukes" are a myth. They do not exist in the real world. Any such device would have to be bigger than the trunk of a car and densely metallic.
