Be careful what you search for on Google earth, everything is recorded. Yes I'll admit I'm a little paranoid.
Oh no, I looked at Area 51 recently so I am in big trouble. Actually the resolution coverage of Area 51 surprisingly was very good. Of course not a person or aircraft in sight.
All space borne sensors are in known orbits so objects of interest are normally placed under cover at the time of surveillance. This limits the effectiveness of such systems for intelligence gathering.
