But why? – Information from military satellites about incoming asteroids has always been given to scientists in the past, but now the military has suddenly classified the information.
A recent US military policy decision now explicitly states that observations by spy satellites of incoming fireballs have been classified as secret so they cannot be released. These are satellites that detect nuclear bomb sites and tests, such as those in North Korea and Iran. As a side effect, they have also detected potentially incoming asteroids. This means that incoming space rocks that may explode in our atmosphere are now classified, so we cannot be prepared for a possible cataclysm.
In Space.com, Leonard David quotes an anonymous NASA scientist as saying, “It’s baffling to us why this would suddenly change. It’s unfortunate because there was this great synergy, a very good cooperative arrangement. Systems were put into dual-use mode where a lot of science was getting done that couldn’t be done any other way. It’s a regrettable change in policy.”
David quotes NASA’s David Morrison as saying, “The fireball data from military or surveillance assets have been of critical importance for assessing the impact hazard.” Are they afraid that someone might identify these space rocks as incoming UFOs?
