None of it makes sense. They shot it down over the US coast where you are similarly likely to hit a boat or a bather than hitting someone in some empty fields of the midwest (and what about the canadian mountains!). They say it doesn't pose any threat to aviation but nevertheless closed the airports on its path. They say that they are confident it is an intelligence gathering operation by the chinese, but that they don't get anything more than they would get from a satellite (why would they use balloons then, are we suggesting the chinese are stupid?). I have no idea what's the real story here but it is obvious we are being bullshitted.
