For a long time, conspiracy theorists have been saying that there was a secret space program, separate for NASA and more advanced. Well now a military space program has been confirmed, and they just gave NASA two space telescopes. They’re roughly the same size as the Hubble, but they feature 100 times the field of view and are made of lighter materials. The Washington Post found out about it and learned that some secret technology was removed before the handoff:

“The hardware is approximately the same size as the Hubble but uses newer, much lighter mirror and structure technology,” DeSio said. She added, “Some components were removed before the transfer.”

Which components? “I can’t tell you that,” she said.

If the military does have their own secret space program, could Gary McKinnon have been telling the truth about an Excel document listing “Non-Terrestrial Officers”?
