What a logo.&lt;p&gt;I am stopping by to mention Trevor Paglen&amp;#x27;s work who helps uncover and popularize some of this junk. You can watch his full presentation &amp;quot;Seeing The Secret State: Six Landscapes&amp;quot;[0] for background on this unclassified unit patch as well as surprising photos and TLEs and much, much more.&lt;p&gt;What a time we live in!&lt;p&gt;0: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;media.ccc.de&amp;#x2F;v&amp;#x2F;30C3_-_5604_-_en_-_saal_1_-_201312282300_-_seeing_the_secret_state_six_landscapes_-_trevor_paglen&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;media.ccc.de&amp;#x2F;v&amp;#x2F;30C3_-_5604_-_en_-_saal_1_-_201312282...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
