Can I interest you in a balloon jetpack?

Called it! Well, sort of anyway. I’d predicted it was a different Disney character balloon.

I want one, but should not operate one.

That makes absolutely no sense at all. Who would go through the effort to make a drone look and behave exactly like an off-the-shelf Jack Skellington balloon, and for what purpose? To make jet pilots think it’s ok to let their engines ingest a foreign object because it’s a balloon and not a drone?
If someone has been releasing these intentionally (as opposed to accidental balloon releases, which I’m sure never ever happen /s) then the only thing that doesn’t make sense to me is why they haven’t been using the Buzz Lightyear or Stormtrooper balloons that look more convincingly like jetpack fliers.
