I worked the radar and IR satellite systems for too many years to believe any of this hype. Yes, we saw blips and as Jim said, if they weren't ours, we shot them down. But there was never a blip in my shift that went unanswered - never.

BTW - I was working the night Chernobyl blew... Took us less than 30 seconds to have a general idea of what had happened - not the extent or the reasons but we knew that the reactor had blown, and we knew it wasn't missiles, rockets, aircraft, or ufo's that caused it. I doubt the locals had any idea that quickly.
