This has to do with CI@ small rocket plane X-37B and Space Force. Its missions are classified but they have to do with space weapons and satellite reconn. Plausible deniability is a 1950s era Watergate related CIA term at the time. "The organization of clandestine activity in such a way that knowledge of its existence may be denied by those in authority."
Within Intel agencies, it means there's Covert Action unlike Espionage, Is when a Target is aware of but either does not know, or cannot prove, who is influencing political, military, scientific, or economic factors in the target country. Plausible deniability is another way to say that the sponsor cannot be proven. This all ties in with the US/NATO data breach from the other day.
Good digging! Additional tidbit, the “OTV” missions (space plane) were only one of the missions flown under the AFSPC banner. The owls were different. All missions equally interesting, however. Now missions are flown under USSF-# banner. I believe USSF-8 and USSF-12 were the most recent (just after I left), but I don’t follow as closely due to lack of necessity.
Thanks for the additional history on the plausible deniability term. Definitely in play today. I’ll have to look into the US/NATO breach. I’ve been off down rabbit holes and other ones are piling up with info. God bless!
