The USA has recently created a hot sensation around the globe by shooting down four aerial objects, the most prominent one being the 'Chinese Balloon'. How does the USA even know that the balloon is Chinese even without investigating it physically?

I mean just look at this image. There is just some white fabric used to make the balloon and a solar panel. How can I say that it is Chinese or Russian or from North Korea?
