It has been reported that the United States launched a secret satellite last night around 3a.m. PDT aboard an Atlas 5 rocket, mission NROL-28. Other than admitting the launch occurred (pretty hard to deny that), officials have been tight lipped. The launch had been delayed two weeks to be sure the new satellite would not get taken out by any debris remaining in space from the defunct satellite shot down recently. Possibly this was a planned replacement?? It was also confirmed at 4:09 PDT that the launch was a success. What is even cooler is that the secret launch took place in low clouds and fog...to make the mission seem even more secretive (as you can see in the above picture).
The satellite was launched for the National Reconnaissance Office, so go get in your birthday suit and show the NRO what your made of.
