Well it was to far away to say. I am sure that they monitor that type of stuff, and may have caught it on video with one of them huge ass telescopes, but other than that I couldn't say. Now if it was closer, say over the US. They would have scanned it with IFF, and radar, (if it would send out a return) and then scramble fighters to check it out if they didn't get a IFF return.
IFF = Identification Friend or Foe, all airplanes have a form of IFF. At least mode 3A and C. Military have 1, 2, 3A, C and 4. (mode 4 is the cool one)
