If you get those balloons high enough, they escape the jet streams and can remain motionless over a target. If you want to move the balloon, lower the altitude, put it back in the jet stream and away it goes. Jet stream has wind speeds of 275 miles per hour.

The jet stream is 4-8 miles above our heads. (20-40 thousand feet) Remember the first balloon was at 60,000 feet, that is a height that is above the jet stream and why the balloon remained over Montana.
