You do know it was flying over a mostly uninhabited area at one point. Even the congressman from Montana wanted it blown up. The military is fully prepared to take it out if given the order but Biden chooses not to.

We should send up our own balloon to fetch it intact

From your link.
"The defense official said the spy balloon was trying to fly over the Montana missile fields, but the U.S. has assessed that it has "limited" value in terms of providing intelligence it couldn't obtain by other technologies, such as spy satellites."
Go ahead, shoot first and ask questions later, my, my.

Considering we are suppose to have the technology to intercept icbm's I think a mere balloon would be child's play.

"It scared me" Well, yes, Montana is a stand your ground state. and being scared is the standard for a stand your ground defense for legal homicide. So, by all means, you may invoke your right to self defense. Trump Jr approves.
Then again,
"the U.S. has assessed that it has "limited" value in terms of providing intelligence"
It's a balloon flying over nowhere Montana. What are you afraid of?

It would be best to capture it and wrest what secrets it may hold from it

Can you imagine how difficult that would be? 60,000 feet, pretty sure it would be nearly impossible to even catch it with another balloon. Maybe a big kite with a even bigger ball of string, maybe a Chinese fighting kite!

That raises the question: exactly where does the US stand relative to balloon technology? I'd like to think that we would hold an edge on China, but then I'm just an internet-based medieval knight

I would think a radio controlled drone with a big knife attached to it might be easier if they could fly that high. Probably better than my kite idea.

Perhaps a drone launched from a balloon deployed by a jet fighter

Another Chinese 'surveillance balloon' is flying over Latin America, Pentagon says
A Defense Department spokesperson revealed the additional balloon after one was assessed to be flying 60,000 feet above the continental United States.
