Do amateur astronomers/civilian enthusiasts with high-end gear and equipment have the ability to view Saturn (and its rings and moons in its orbit) with clarity?
Like… no matter which maneuver it executes once it reaches Saturn’s orbit, will we be able to see it and know? Or will we have to continue trying to ascertain the truth through what NASA and the IC tells or doesn’t tell us?
You're assuming whomever wrote this legal response knows what they are doing. What about the current administration gives you such confidence? It's a fucking comet, not a Klingon Bird of Prey.
Incompetence results in lost files, ignored emails, or a lazy 'No Records Found.'
A Glomar Response ('Neither Confirm Nor Deny') is a specific legal exemption that requires General Counsel review and sign-off. It takes more work to issue a Glomar than a standard denial. You don't accidentally invoke a National Security shield.
I can’t speak for the veracity of this document, the CIA’s actions. But I can say, unequivocally, that this is a boring-ass chunk of rock and ice and there is nothing about the comet that could have any intelligence value, except in the case of a sovereign having sent a spacecraft to study it or establish infrastructure on the comet.
You just nailed the entire argument. 'Except in the case of a sovereign having sent a spacecraft to... establish infrastructure.' That is precisely the point.
The Glomar response confirms the CIA treats this as a National Security target, not a science experiment. If you think it's 'boring rock,' you are arguing with the Agency's threat assessment, not mine.
They don't invoke national security exemptions for ice; they invoke them for infrastructure.
I only laid this alternative explanation out because it is the only other reasonable alternative explanation to agency error/incompetency (assuming your document is real). The fact is, while it is possible another sovereign sending a craft to intercept (not confirmed by any known unusual launches/orbital insertions) and even install something on 3I, doing so would be max-retarded. 3I is on a very well studied one-time hyperbolic glancing blow with our solar system. It is never returning. It has no use as an ISR asset or feasible source of resources. It has actually arguably has highly negative economic and military value.
100%. You don't burn operational equity to hide a rock. You do it to hide a capability or a threat. The fact that the 'File' exists at Langley, not just Houston, tells us everything we need to know.
What do you think is going to happen when it gets to Jupiter?
We’re watching for a High-Impulse Event at Jupiter.
We expect one of two maneuvers:
A hard brake for orbital insertion.
A 'Payload Separation' before exiting the system.

This gives such strong X Files Vibes
That's because you've been watching too much TV ser
Id say it's a rare Earth or completely new element and they want absolutely no one looking at it.
Field logic says: protect the sensor grid, not the object.
The Fact it has no FAA air traffic control lights does make it possibly of alien origin. 🤷🏼 Just saying
