No such thing as off the books satellite launches. Everything in orbit is tracked and publicly available. Has to be for orbital deconfliction. And unless they are launching from Antarctica, people are going to see it going up.
That's not true at all.

Read this book. There are open source communities dedicated to tracking dark satellites. They have mirrors on them that they adjust to reflect light away from specific observers, as it's the only way to see them.

Did you write this book?
I did not. The book itself is a bit old, maybe no longer up to date... But was an interesting read.
I know that there are people out there who "track" "dark" satellites. Just look into the dark Knight satellite story. The problem is, things in orbit that are large enough to be a satellite simply can't hide. Unless they are using some exotic unknown to us technology.
You can observe satellites in transit. They cast shadows. No mirror can do anything about this. Also, it's the sun, you can't reflect the "light away" on any meaningful level.
Like.. have you spent time thinking about how mechanically impossible this is?
A satellite without a radio is useless. You can see all of them if you use something other than your eyes to look.
Exactly, unless some exotic (unknown to us) technology is in use

I'd really suggest you look at the book, it's pretty informative.
Yes you can visually observe these satellites in transit, the book talks about tracking the shadows, which is difficult for amateurs. The main method used was identifying them when light was reflected off the hull.. to counter this, they used mirrors to reflect light away from known observer locations on earth, as well as altering orbit, but altering orbit is less efficient as it affects the mission as well as limited manouvre capability over time.
They do have communication capability, from what I understood they communicate with other nearby NRO satellites which are known to the public and these satellites downlink to earth. There are communication dark spots, they are not able to be in constant contact due to orbit types. (Polar etc.)
