It's now reported that one of the objects was a $12 balloon with a tracking device on it that was launched by a father-son group as a science project.
And I'm with Phat.... Why not shoot it down with bullets? Lots cheaper and a more controlled/slower fall.

Our government allowed the Chinese spy balloon to enter into our airspace in Alaska, fly over key installations in the lower 48 and finally shot it down after it was over the Atlantic, but hurried to shoot down these 3 other balloons. As you said, at tremendous cost. And we're supposed to believe that the people in charge know what they're doing?
