Secret space program

The secret space program refers to alleged classified space exploration initiatives that are purportedly conducted by governments or private entities without public disclosure. These programs are often discussed in the context of conspiracy theories and speculative claims, suggesting that advanced spacecraft, extraterrestrial contact, or other cutting-edge technologies are being developed and operated in secrecy. The term is not recognized by official space agencies such as NASA, ESA, or Roscosmos, and there is no verifiable evidence supporting the existence of such programs. In Hebrew, the term can be translated as תוכנית החלל הסודית. Similar terms in other languages include programa espacial secreto in Spanish and programme spatial secret in French. The concept often intersects with discussions about UFOs, extraterrestrial life, and government cover-ups, making it a popular topic in science fiction and conspiracy theory circles.
