Speculation: Looks like some kid's balloons that were showing up on radar. A interceptor was tasked to take it out, WTFed it was a balloons, then decided to complete the mission to clear up the radar return. These interceptors are not recovered, too dangerous, and it is doubtful there was another target in battery range.
Alternative Speculation: It's a training mission for intercepts using an easy target.
There's something here from somewhere else
