Logical deduction combined with some coverage by Monkey Werx. MIL aircraft have been shadowing pretty much the entire time. If it's transmitting sensitive data, it's a logical assumption they can and would jam it. Obviously, you can't get confirmation on something like that.
I wouldn't take anything Monkey says as worth a damn. The man said with a straight face we can't shoot it down because it might hit some people. It was flying over some of the most open areas in the country. They could have EASILY shot it down with no problems. He's either compromised or simply full of shit.

His opinion on what to do with it doesn't effect the reality that the balloon was being shadowed. That was easily confirmed by globe.adsbexchange.com.
