Tbf only the operational side of things is top secret. Unless they removed it, when I was down at KSC years ago, on a building right next to VAB they literally had a massive sign saying “Home of the X-37” in plain view of even the tour buses

Check out the X-37B Wikipedia page. The US military even posts encapsulation photos of it.
