Perhaps the satellite would have occasional success tracking UFOs, as they have shown up on radar from time to time, but it is highly likely that UFOs can become invisible to our current level of sensing technology, as well.

I have a theory about that.
Let us say you either put a tracking device in an abductee while he or she is in a UFO or put a tracking device on a UFO itself. I believe that ounce the aliens power down the UFO, our tracking systems will then be able to pick up the signal.

That is, if the UFOs power down when within range of our receivers.
Due to predictable conditions of satellite movement in space (lack of atmosphere) computer software can calculate a satellite's position for given moment. Calculations are done based on known orbit parameters determined at epoch. Known orbital parameters like inclination, eccentricity, argument of perigee, mean motion (revolutions per day), let us track satellite for a reasonable period of time after epoch. Orbital data for each object is grouped, and distributed as a Two Line Element (TLE) file.
