Sure yes I don't disagree so far. Whatever it was the object was it was unwilling/unable/unaware to move out of the way of a plane engine - and even be on a flight path to begin with.Not just 27,000 feet. The plane was over the Ocean leaving land behind it with the hit coming from the front of the plane the direction away from land. Plus the damage was indicative of a substantial metallic object impacting the intake which a bullet is not substantial. I don't see anything in that balloon video that would be classed as a substantial metallic object and would cause the damage described.
A few updates on metabunk page, querying that the only report of this is from the one tweet and the air safety report that is apparently since been updated but no source can be found or verified. Usually plane engine failures and emergency landings are in the news even a little bit.

Your dislike for that site seems irrelevant, you can dismiss their findings I guess. I find it helpful to confirm rather than assume something.
