Okay, you won't be investigated for mentioning Area 51, which in
fact is a supersecret government facility which specializes in hiding
countless tons of desert sand.

I am now fascinated about these and would like to perhaps learn more
about them. Is there no way to have prediction information available for
future sightings.

Yes; go to

and click on the "Select" a satellite line.

When the pages gives you the four boxes, type noss 2% in
the box for the name of a satellite. This will return a list
of the NOSS satellites. The triplets are NOSS 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3.
