A small, globe-trotting balloon declared “missing in action” by an Illinois-based hobbyist club on Feb. 15 has emerged as a candidate to explain one of the three mystery objects shot down by four heat-seeking missiles launched by U.S. Air Force fighters since Feb. 10.
I'd wager the club's globe-troting balloon did not have any heat signature to attrack such missles. So right there something doesn't make sense.

The AIM-9X is not heat-seeking. They were made by Raytheon here in Tucson. They aren't making them anymore; they've been superseded.
