To be classified as a coverup there must have first been wrongdoing that was covered up. Calling the refusal to release sensor data from classified satellites as a “coverup” is nothing but conspiracy theorist basement dwellers looking to be drama queens.

OMG, if you zoom in it looks like an airplane just to the right of it on a collision course.

You may have solved the mystery!

I would consider it good practice to keep the data secret — not because of any meteors, but because of classified satellite capabilities:

1. Imaging (resolution, spectral range)
2. Transmission bandwidth.
3. Orbital location.
4. Orbital maneuvering.

And goodness knows what else that can be deduced.

I think it more likely that they don't want to release data because of what can be deduced from the data about the capabilities and sensitivity of these classified satellite sensors.
