I'm pretty sure it is the latter.

Psst - why does Dr. ExLax thinks it flying over Aleutians matters?

That's very, very sad, mini-Legion. Have you tried asking Damo for your balls back? It's been almost a year.

IDK, but anyone who snorts HCQ and uses Ivermectin suppositories ain't right in the head.
“They are the most effective tool the CBP has to see illegal crossings of out border.”
WHAT?? This is Trumpublican sacrilege. I’m turning your name into the MAGA fan club.
I am sure because the balloons are tethered that it’s not the same thing, plus, I am sure DHS has informed the Mexican government of their presence.

The military incapacitated its ability to collect information.

That would be relatively easy to do with an ECM pod, especially away from any civilization.

The Blimps are on OUR side of the border. And were very visible.

I doubt it. The military has the capability to do so.

A suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that the US shot down this week was able to collect communications signals, a US official has said. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64587228

Besides prescribing HCQ, he's psychic.
If you'd ever served in either the US military or US intelligence services, you'd know that not only does the US have the capability to fry the sensor package with ECM, but only releases the information it wants to release...unless the CiC commands otherwise for political purposes.
I think Biden would play ball with his advisors while his predecessor would be marketing the information to the highest bidder.

Oh my God!!!!! It had the capability????
...as if they weren't getting enough off TikTok and all the Chinese-made drones flown by Americans.
I've been sending them lots of recordings of cows and trees with an occasional BBQ.
Bullshit
Thank you
Your article says it had a technical capability to collect data, but the US may have jammed it with electronic counter measures.
Your article doesn't say it successfully collected data.

The balloons are on our side of the border. Initially they were used for spotting low-flying aircraft but I'm sure modern tech has enhanced their capabilities.
As for the balloon; ALQ-99 ECM pods would fry it if desired.
