Do you seriously believe 'the first balloon' was only a few days ago?
The US/UK/Canada have been tracking these things for many years, (possibly even shooting them down) they just haven't let details leak out before now.
If you read some of the foregoing material, even Russia and China admit some of the objects are unknown to them.
