ST. LOUIS — "What can we really do?" asked Bob Swan. "This is kind of strange," said Russ Geminn.  Strange or not, the big, suspected Chinese balloon, now moving across the United States, has captivated the world. It's also captured the attention of balloon watchers in the St. Louis. "I'd be concerned about it," said Bob Swan. From south St. Louis to downtown to O'Fallon, Missouri, and Washington, Missouri, plenty of people snapped cellphone photos of China's balloon that's reportedly the size of three buses.
