The question of whether the National Reconnaissance Office’s sophisticated satellites
pick up UFOs has been debated by many
UFO researchers from time to time.
Wikipedia article: “National Reconnaissance Office”:
Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is a member of the United
States Intelligence Community and an agency of the United States Department of
Defense. NRO is considered, along with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),
National Security Agency (NSA), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and National
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), to be one of the ‘big five’ U.S.
intelligence agencies.[2] The NRO is headquartered in unincorporated Fairfax
County, Virginia,[3] 2 miles (3.2 km ) south of Washington
Dulles International Airport.
It designs, builds, and operates the reconnaissance satellites of
theUnited States government, and
provides satellite intelligence to several government agencies, particularly
signals intelligence (SIGINT) to the NSA, imagery intelligence (IMINT) to the
NGA, and measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT) to the DIA.[4]
The Director of the NRO reports to both the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense[5] and serves as Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Intelligence Space Technology). The NRO’s federal workforce consists primarily of Air Force, CIA, NGA, NSA, and Navy personnel.[6] A 1996 bipartisan commission report described the NRO as having by far the largest budget of any intelligence agency, and ‘virtually no federal workforce,’ accomplishing most of its work through ‘tens of thousands’ of defense contractor personnel.[7]”
