Only if they let him. Humans would most likely not be able to do it for real. Especially three times in a row.
Precisely that ^^^
If one has read/watched testimony from Commander Fravor and other fighter pilots that came forward regarding encounters they've had with UFOs, then it should be crystal clear that our most advanced aeronautical and weapons systems are no match for the UFOs. The can't get close enough to get a weapons lock and in the small off chance they do, how is a chemical propelled sidewinder missile going to hit something going mach 20+ that can make 90 degree turns at that speed.
Allegedly our military has beyond next-gen radiant energy weapons systems, and depending on to whom you listen and believe, these weapons have been brought to bear and have downed UFOs. Maybe, maybe not.
So I agree, the carefully curated efforts in the press to avoid calling these things what they are, "balloons" or "craft" or whatever, and calling them "unidentified flying objects" is nothing but games from MSM, best case they're playing word games with the facts, worst case is this a ruse (i.e. the Von Braun scenario)

The Government and military official’s main job is to CTA (cover their arse). Someone messed up on the big balloon fiasco, now it’s CYA in overdrive.
They are now on Shoot anything down that doesn’t look like an airplane on the radar screen mode.

Do we have proof) pictures of these other shot downs? Or are we supposed to take the words of a known group of liars? "We didn't shoot down the first one until everyone complained but we definitely and conveniently got the others quickly!"

That is if these 40,000ft balloons are even real. Do we have any confirmation on these?

Only Senator Chuck Schumer says everything witnessed by pilots and/or shot down, is a balloon. He's actually better/smoother at lying than Barack was.
