Reminds me of that old joke about then-modern stealth fighters having the radar cross section of a bird, with a reply stating that if they saw a bird going at mach 0.8 they'd fire some missiles at it.

They sent up an interceptor aircraft to check out what was flying up there, rather than missiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_by_flight_heights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_by_flight_height...
