Quote:As for as the CIA? Why would anyone ask them for info anyway? Did they also ask NASA, the FBI, Homeland Security and ATF?
I guess if there is anything of defence interest about 3I/Atlas it would be the CIA handling or collating the information , it's also worth remembering NASA works with the CIA.
Although we can't say for sure their response to the request by John Greenewald and the Classification of information they may or may not hold would indicate Atlas may be of Defence interest if they do hold information , it would seem silly Classifying information or even the knowledge of the existence of information they don't actually have.
They may have not "Judery" close up images of Atlas from MRO , better images from Webb or Hubble perhaps.
