however, there is more then a few arguments for us not telling anyone we saw it, a. maybe that asset was doing something not particularly clean, and we want to keep it quiet, or b. we don't want to tell everyone ho good our radar is.

That's just great, half of the countries around the dissapearence saw nothing because of their inadequate radars, but refuse to say either that they did or didn't see anything for fear of other countries possibly using that information. The Americans may have seen something, but refuse to say one way or another for fear of letting the world know it's capabilities.
Obviously, nothing is going to be accomplished if we can't work together.
