I remember this story being used extensively by “debunkers”. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/02/did-an-f-22-blow-up-some-illinois-hobbyists-pico-balloon.html
It referred to the members of the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade, a club of high-altitude-balloon hobbyists, who was waiting to hear from K9YO-15, the group’s $100 silver mylar “pico” balloon.
This showed on on Feb 28th.
Let’s all remind ourselves that commander of NORAD Glenn VanHerck stated unequivocally:”We call them objects for a reason”
