Surely this is not the world's slowest declaration of war?
Whoever country is sending whatever these artificial objects are, what can they possibly gain from this?

Russia did, and I guess still does, this a lot. Flying their planes constantly in European airspace to see if what the response is and also make it more normal occurrence. If they one day attack it’s harder to tell if this again one of those random times or an actual attack
Poetic.

As to why use balloons instead of satellites, the most reasonable speculation I’ve seen is that they’re collecting signals intelligence (radio traffic, etc.) which is not accessible from orbital distances.
Ironic if people are being spied upon by TikTok whilst watching a spy balloon video.
That's a good point though - people seem more worked up about the data collection balloon than they are about the little data collector in their pockets.
Woah! Even on iOS?
Other apps had the same issue (I think Telegram comes to mind?)
we're not far :D
it has happened before.
