The U.S. military likes to be a little sneaky with its robotic space planes. Unlike typical spacecraft, these vehicles can shift their orbits, frustrating the global network of skywatchers who keep track of just about every man-made object rotating the planet. But the sleuths have their tricks, too. They’ve tracked down the X-37B on its second secret mission. And the information the skywatchers are finding says quite a bit about the classified operations of this mysterious spacecraft. It took the amateur sleuths nearly a month to hunt down the first X-37B after it launched on its inaugural mission. That’s an eternity in sky-spotting time.


Now this is pretty cool !

I just wish I could find the X-37B with my telescope

If amateurs are able to track these then I cant see how these would pose any threat to their target... Maybe their mission isn't actually meant to cause any harm or dispute to their target(s).

If this is a secrt space plane:

1) How do you know its name?
2) How come there is a big photograph of it on the internet?

Is it just me, or does this look suspiciously like Thunderbird 2? lol

Good question , not sure why it got that name from the MSM . Perhaps they named it that so we don't look for there " real " secret space plane ?
