There's not really any reason the Pentagon needed to state the F-22 was at 58k if that was actually new information (I haven't investigated the previously admitted service ceiling). They could have just as easily have claimed it was at 50k when it fired. EDIT: Wikipedia claims the service ceiling of the F-22 is 65k feet anyways.

Check the Wikipedia edit history. Bunch of arguing over it. It was 50,000 feet. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lockheed_Martin_F-22_Raptor&action=history https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lockheed_Martin_F...

Yeah it’s not new, people have known.
