See ABC / CNN. Must be reported by a major US news outlet to count. The balloon can be this balloon or another, as long as the outlet reports are confident that it is from China.

After consideration, I will not consider any shoot downs where the balloon lands off the coast to count, but I will consider it to count if it lands in a lake or river within US territory.
Some further clarifications in light of recent news: Frozen ocean water will be considered "ocean" and so will not count. Also, dirigibles and any other objects which are primarily supported by buoyancy will be considered balloons.
