Various reports and Sen. Rubio, claim the US military had been tracking the balloon before it had entered US Airspace as early as Jan 28th. https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/1623305568470409217?s=46&t=I_TH6LAWK62qEVyMHN0wWQ https://www.wsj.com/articles/chinese-spy-balloon-over-the-u-s-what-to-know-11675385792 There were balloons during the Trump Admin, but they were only discovered after the fact.
