and indeed the black paint does have a low radar reflectivity.


Yes, but you'd need it to be billions of times less radar reflective
than the stuff that they paint stealth aircraft with. Those NORAD radars
can track tiny specks of space junk.

It could be that you are just not paying attention.

Or pass your observation off as a natural object.


The discovery of five natural objects 100 metres across in Earth orbit
would be headline news.
