Not reporting meteors detected by our recon satellites might make sense. It will prevent other countries from knowing how sensitive the satellites are and what their fields of view are. If meteors A, B and C burn up in the atmosphere, but only A and C are recorded by the satellite that means B wasn't seen so you can tell what it can see.

Nice try, but how would you know that the data released by the military wasn't already edited? In fact, you'd have to presume it was, which would mean it wouldn't represent the full capabilities of the satellite anyway.

Yep, it’s the capability of the satellite in question...not the UFO side of the house. I don’t see an issue here...we don’t need to reveal capabilities.
