FWIW, NIMA is not a 'Spy Agency' since that agency  doesn't do HUMINT,
ELINT, etc.  NIMA is a member (by default) of the "Intelligence
Community" but in no practical way could it called a 'Spy Agency' by
anyone who has knowledge of it's current activities.

And, no, I cannot either confirm or deny... anything.

Mars Polar lander huh?	Well, it beats the UFO stories... <grin>
