Talk:Misty (classified project)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article deals with a topic reported by reliable sources as a military black project. It may reference highly speculative information unacknowledged by the government and defense contractors.

You did write an article about misty. My inquiry is, wouldn't it be more accurate to say misty is a program instead of a satellite? In fact, the Washington post article you have linked to use the word program instead of satellite. Quote "The satellite in question would be the third and final version in a series of spacecraft funded under a classified program once known as Misty" [1] If you don't agree with this, what would you call the combined 3 satellites? One last question, what do you mean by "and decayed on March 31, 1990"? I think STS 36 ended in March 4th and the satellite surely must have stayed longer than 30 days. Do you mind clarifying that please? See some other articles [2] and [3]

[edit] Stealthy or not stealthy, that's the question

I have a silly question. You wrote: "Misty is reported to have optical and radar stealth characteristics, preventing it from being detectable by other nations".

Well, if this gadget is stealthy, so why could some amateur astronomers track it? Please, don't take that personally. I really don't want to insult you. But it really doesn't make any sense to me. Surely, the unknown satellite these observers tracked must be a military one. But it cannot be a stealth satellite. 141.2.22.211 14:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I have to correct myself: My conclusion is wrong, as it was built on a somewhat weak premise. Just ignore my question. 141.2.22.211 11:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
