It’s a 32” balloon. I thought the military stated the objects were about the size of a car? Seems like a stretch

They expand at high altitudes because of the low pressure

As they ascend to altitudes of 20,000-50,000 ft., the super-pressure balloon envelope expands by about 2-3 times in size and achieves neutral buoyancy, allowing them to float at a roughly consistent altitude
