Military Hush-Up: Incoming Space Rocks Now Classified !!!!!!!!!!

Interesting...

Yes, why?

[link to www.ips.gov.au]

They know something.

Russia, France, Great Britain and other governments round the world have access to the information one way or another. Our "friendly" allies will eventually spill what they know. The UK is notorious for such things and France detests the US keeping so much secret from their people. Remember who helped finance the Revolution. In many ways France is now more of a democracy that the US is - and they know it!

So just be patient. Even if it is the passing of Planet X or worse, we'll hear about it shortly - regardless of our governments best laid plans to keep it secret.

They don't know anything. They want to start blocking what we can know about space so they can fake some aliens attacking us in the future. That's it.

Looks like they trying to hide something .

OMG it's from 2009 and it's so obvious.

WHY should they tell you if a rock will hit earth!?

Space.com article is from June 2009?

does not shock me. The data could reveal the capabilities of the satellites, ie how well the function at detecting nukes and what not. This data could subsequently be stolen by hackers from Iran for instance, and used to their advantage and the USAs disadvantage.

Therefore i can understand the policy decision.

cuz it happened a while ago....


...nice to see others are finally finding this out.


oh, BTW, OP....



should be here to call you a Liar in ...3...2...1...

Asteroids can be used as weapons. They can be directed with relatively small movements from rockets or as the latest theory goes, by "painting" them with chemicals that reflect the sun's energy and thereby become slower and maneuverable.

In any event, if the U.S. military saw a piece of rock heading toward the vicinity of a large Russian military facility, they might just let it slip through. Or let's say something was headed toward the U.S., and the uncertainty of the event might prompt a foreign nation to stage a military adventure of some sort, or would surely affect the global economy. I mean, what would happen if the U.S. knew that a huge piece of space junk was going to hit somewhere on the East Coast. Would they want every speculator in the world to start screwing with the market trying to short this, that or the other, or anticipate, or try to guess at, what things might be goldmines in which to invest?

Modern warfare is information driven. Being the only people in the world to know if an asteroid is going to hit is pretty special information.

oh gee, it happened under Obama, what a big surprise.
