    I highly doubt hat there is any active stealthing going on outside of
    what ever Misty experiments were done.  I would think that any
    variations in light curves can be fully explained by a combination of
    the many factors: Earth/Sun/satellite angle, orientation of the
    satellite, configuration of the various panels, etc.
    
    And yeah totally agree with the SAR point - the thing is an active
    emitter.  Sort of not worth it to hide it when anyone can tell where
    it is.
