The likelihood of this being the case seems so close to nil. For one, the coverup required would involve thousands of military and non-military personnel. But secondly, if we really did destroy an incoming warhead, well, that would constitute an attack — the attack — and I can’t fathom the US military not counter-attacking. So no, I don’t think you have to worry about that. Just a fat fingering, no more.

> For one, the coverup required would involve thousands of military and non-military personnel. Over a million people have a TS clearance. As for not fathoming the military counterattacking—that is an excellent motive for keeping such an event secret.
