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. ;-).
