Reasons to not shoot them down are myriad, but essentially boils down to risk - what payloads? What triggers? What signals? Is it worth more of a SIGINT prize to send up platforms to hoover up the ELINT? The one over Montana is headed South East and will follow the jet stream down to Florida soon enough.
These have been seen over Guam, over Hawaii and South China Sea.
