Spies aren't very smart.  Until I decided that there was really nothing
very interesting out there (ah, misspent youth, where one will believe
anything), I thought of sending in a mostly wooden and wind-up mechanical
camoflaged robot whose electronics were only activated after the springs
wound down, and would transmit pictures out on pseudo-random frequency
shift to avoid jamming and lower the chances of detection.

Depending on how far in the active curtain goes (they have to be able to
communicate with their own equipment, after all, without interference and
without triggering a security alert), once the electronics came active,
you might even be able to RPV it in for a close look at the "UFO hangers"
without it being detected by anything other than motion detectors...

Real spies, of course, have synthetic aperture optical satellites in
pairs and triplets in order to have very large effective optical
telescopes pointed at the ground.  Only the UFO nuts would need wooden
wind-up robots disguised as sage-brush.  ;-).
