That would be a big fat ‘no’. There is no stealth in space and the X-37B was tracked in real time for every second it was up in orbit - using commercial, private sector tech, no less. See for yourself:

Private space flight has made real time tracking of everything in orbit a necessity.

Well, it is easy to track stuff if they stay put in one orbit, but I read articles about people who were having a tough time finding it.

I’m aware you are knowledgeable but why would you assert that stealth design principles do not work in space? (Not referring to the x37 here but generally).

Did it deploy the Space Selfies satellite which fell to Earth this morning back east? Can’t find the link from this morning.
