And You Think Bloggers and Ham Radio Operators Are Weird...
If you think webloggers and ham radio operators are goofy (we are, but that's beside the point), read this article from the February 2006 issue 14.02 of Wired Magazine. The article is entitled "I Spy". The secondary headline reveals the topic: "Amateur satellite spotters can track everything government spymasters blast into orbit. Except the stealth bird codenamed Misty."
There is a valid teaching point in the article, though. The article reveals how distributed computing can be used to gather vast amounts of open source information that, after collation and analysis, is turned into open source intelligence. It is highly likely that some of the information available from the Heavens-Above website has been classified by someone, somewhere, sometime.
