It also reminds me of the recent incident where an object (potentially a weather balloon) struck a plane windscreen and caused significant damage to it, as well as injuring one of the flight crew. I don't know if it would cause the same amount of damage given it's size, but hitting any solid object at cruising speed is sure to leave a mark

shouldnt be cruising in the balloon lane then

Balloon doesn't teleport to the balloon lane though

That was a much larger balloon that had sand ballast. The sand was what did the damage
