Original Note:
In 1998, Canadian F-18s tried to shoot down a weather balloon, but it remained airborne for 6 more days despite being hit by 1,000 rounds, highlighting the difficulties and potential dangers of shooting down balloons. Civilians should refrain from attempting to shoot it down. https://www.newsweek.com/chinese-spy-balloon-hard-shoot-down-crash-landing-1778839
