We just noticed that NASA shutdown web based Realtime Data service. According to NASA official statement "Due to scheduled maintenance, the orbital tracker will be unavailable from July 2, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. CDT to July 6, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. CDT."
Earlier U.S. military policy decision explicitly states that observations by hush-hush government spacecraft of incoming bolides and fireballs are classified secret and are not to be released and now NASA shutdown Realtime Data service.
What's really going on guys?
For 15 years, scientists have benefited from data gleaned by U.S. classified satellites of natural fireball events in Earth's atmosphere – but no longer.
A recent U.S. military policy decision now explicitly states that observations by hush-hush government spacecraft of incoming bolides and fireballs are classified secret and are not to be released, SPACE.com has learned.
The satellites' main objectives include detecting nuclear bomb tests, and their characterizations of asteroids and lesser meteoroids as they crash through the atmosphere has been a byproduct data bonanza for scientists.
The upshot: Space rocks that explode in the atmosphere are now classified.
"It's baffling to us why this would suddenly change," said one scientist familiar with the work. "It's unfortunate because there was this great synergy...a very good cooperative arrangement. Systems were put into dual-use mode where a lot of science was getting done that couldn't be done any other way. It's a regrettable change in policy."

Funny, you people ever move forward with your theories..
Ofcourse they are turning of the information to the public if the sun is about to burn of the northern hemisphere..
Why are the rich people buying proparty on the other side of the hemisphere ? More clues that dont fitt any scenario you have read ? !
