Didn't some analysis say the balloon likely deployed from Latin America? If it was a Chinese university it's strange we don't have a 3rd country involved yet. Unless it came off a warship or Cuba or something.

No, there was a separate balloon over South America, also launched from China.

On the path over Missouri coming from the west coast... I don't think prevailing winds work that way in the US.

  The jetstream goes from west to east so depending on the particular path the jetstream takes a balloon could easily go from alaska to missouri.

    Correct, but not Latin America as suggested by the parent.

This balloon was launched from Hainan Island in southern China.
