NITWITS RUBES OAFS, SETEC ASTRONOMY, TOP SECRET The first letter of each word in the phrase "Nitwits Rubes and Oafs" spells out the agency responsible for this patch: the NRO, the National Reconnaissance Office. Furthermore, "OAFS" could be an acronym for Onizuka Air Force Station, an Air Force Space Operations base in Sunnyvale, California, colloquially known as the Blue Cube. It is unclear what the collection of three white stars and one black star represent, although they may be related to the collection of four triangles from the NRO's "We Own the Night" patch depicted on pg. 119. The phrase "Setec Astronomy" figures prominently in the 1992 film Sneakers, in which the phrase is an anagram for "Too Many Secrets."
