You know, I certainly couldn't rule that out, right? But some things I think about when I think about that problem, let's talk about the F-117 stealth fighter, right? There was a program that was unclassified. I think it was in the late 70s, maybe the early 80s, called Have Blue.

And then they turned on the radars and they're like, well, something's wrong because we're not seeing anything, right? And then a bird landed on the prototype and they saw the bird. And so when that happened, the whole program went black, right? It became classified. Before then it was not classified. Then it was classified. But it, of course, came out in the 90s with Gulf War I, right?
