I can see a reason why it would be classified.

The sensors involved in tracking the object are still in use in national defense today. Although they have been upgraded, a discerning enemy might use the information on what those sensors could do THEN and take into account the upgrades that have been made to determine what they can do NOW.

That would explain some of the information being classified. They do, however, have the ability to selectively hide information.

The fact that they took a truck out there and picked the thing up is hardly the same as discussing the means by which they tracked the flight.
