Almost 30 years ago now, a group of spy sat hunters assembled by Ted Molczan watched earnestly on the night sky for a chance to see the space shuttle Atlantis launched into space. It wasn't Atlantis they took particular notice of but the payload that it carried, which Molczan claims is a classified US government spy satellite that has been equipped with stealth capabilities. For amateur astronomers, this was a once in a lifetime event that they could not pass up so they waited patiently for the exact moment when they will see Atlantis and the satellite named MISTY. And they weren't disappointed.
