If it’s so secret, why do we know about it?

Oh my, this sounds important. It’s sure a good thing it’s being kept a secret.

The payload is believed to be an electronic eavesdropping satellite with a huge collecting antenna.

Launched on orders from Jay Rockefeller to keep an eye on Fox News.

How secret can it be if CBS is doing a story about it?

It appears that it's definitely a contrail.

*facepalm*

If it’s >328 feet wide then it had some type of long boom that unfolded, which means it had a requirement to create a large separation between two or more components. Either to minimize interference with each other or to use interferometry to increase resolution.

Even though it was cloudy, I got some views of it through the gaps...was very bright. Trajectory was going a lot farther east than other launches I’v seen.

Always love headlines that scream 'Secret'.

I don't trust The Imam with our national secrets, that's for sure.

how else do you expect Obama to be able to steal ESPN-U so he can sit around the White House watching basketball all day?
