I was just reading about the CIA’s Corona satellite program and happened upon an article about the declassification of Big Bird. It centered on the small company in Danbury, Ct. who secretly made it decades ago. And this passage caught my attention:
But it was impossible to conceal the launches at Vandenberg Air Force base in California, and aviation magazines made several references to "Big Bird." In 1975, a "60 Minutes" television piece on space reconnaissance described an "Alice in Wonderland" world, where American and Soviet intelligence officials knew of each other's "eyes in the sky" — and other nations did, too — but no one confirmed the programs or spoke about them publicly.
Did we just figure out the true meaning of Wonderland??
