The so-called \u201cOperation Moonwatch\u201d was discontinued in 1975 but the amateurs kept on observing the sky \u2013 now searching for confidential objects. They continued until today, maintaining an alternative database of classified satellites.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">\u201cPositions of the Unknown\u201d locates the current whereabouts of these mysterious objects by simply pointing at them as they revolve around Earth. Missing the legal proof, those unidentified artefacts remain entities of pure speculation, secret companions of us and our planet. Even so they have been sighted several times and their ubiquitous presence is therefore somehow validated, they linger in a state between existence and non-existence.
