How many of these recent UFOs will turn out to be actual weather balloons?

Actual weather balloons transmit on internationally agreed common frequencies https://public.wmo.int/en/media/news/wmo-and-itu-update-radi...

Amateur radio operators monitor these frequencies https://tracker.sondehub.org/

the public-at-large i'm exposed to seems to be more apt to assume they're aliens -- so frankly anyone that assumes it's just an innocuous weather balloon is a breath of fresh air for me.

Are balloons still used in weather forecasting anymore? I thought that ended with weather satellite.
