They should have sent some awesome biplanes up to pop it and reenact some of the epic biplane vs Zeppelin battles of WW1.

Well, planes won't fly at 60,000 feet, but had it been low enough something like that would have been an option. Hydrogen makes a poor balloon gas.

Apparently shot down by a single missile fired from an F-22 Raptor.

Yes it was shot down by an F-22 with a single sidewinder missile.
BTW an F-22 can and will fly at 65,000 feet.

I was referring to propeller airplanes not fighter jets. An F-22 can fly at mach 2.5.

WRONG AGAIN PAUL
Actually an F-22's top speed is mach 2.25 at altitude, mach 1.21 at sea level and mach 1.82 at " supercruise " altitude.
F-22 Performance
Maximum speed:
Mach 2.25, 1,500 mph (2,414 km/h) at altitude
Mach 1.21, 800 knots (921 mph; 1,482 km/h) at sea level
Mach 1.82, 1,220 mph (1,963 km/h) supercruise at altitude

This was reported on NBC. I guess they were rounding up.

SEE: How Does The Aircraft Achieve Its Top Speed
It lists top speed at mach 2.5. It then states that the F-22 surprises even the F-15 with a top speed of mach 2.5.
