I'm not sure I understand why this is news. Haven't there always been tons of secret spy satellites about which the public had little information?

Because usually we know either nothing or everything about such a mission. Here some detailed specifics have been made public while the actual purpose is kept secret. It's like they want us to speculate

Huh, okay...

Maybe the partial openness is just a way to give in to modern reality and accommodate the inevitability of the kind of sightings and research and/or "leaks" people are doing across the net for this vessel and other phenomena. Or there are subcontractor confidentiality issues. Or they're going to be selling it for other uses. I see now, thanks.
