Of course, I can't prove a negative!  Experience is the answer.
The US was poor when it comes to counter intelligence, OPSEC is
terrible.

I took a college course taught by the VII Corps Deception Officer.
His position was newly created.  His job was to take full scale
models with infared, radar and other devices and get the enemy
to think forces were deployed in an area in which they did not exist.
We haven't really done much correctly in this area since Patton
with his phoney invasion force in England or Inchon.

North Korea figured MacArthur would indeed pull off an
amphibious landing.  They thought it would be a Mokpo or
somewhere on the east coast.  They knew that his staff had
prepared studies for just about everywhere during WWII.
They just were not prepared to believe Inchon.  MacArthur
used all the deception he could to make them continue in
that belief.  After Korea, Deception faded out.

The military has just, in the ten years, gone back to this old
idea.  The purpose of Deception is to cause the enemy to
think you are elsewhere and commit forces to the wrong place.
Stories about trying to get up and running in this area are
really amusing.  Makes the Keystone Kops look like smooth
operators.

Military intelligence is not an all knowing and all seeing
entity.  There are some who are competent.  Most that I've
seen weren't that impressive.

Disinformation was a Soviet activity.  It is harder to do
in a Western society.  Ufology has adopted the word.  Mostly
ufologists have divined their information on this subject.  It
exists in their minds.

The probability of some type of operation is unlikely.  Certainly
based on the other intelligence failures, there would have been a
misstep by now.  If someone has evidence, let examine it.
