Why would you assume that we would hear anything if the sensors were tripped? It would be considered an act of war and would promote real hysteria in the general population if that were the case. It’s far more plausible that it was an attack that is being covered up for national security purposes.

If it’s safe to pretend it’s not happening than it isn’t a useful attack. If they can detect it, they should be able to apply some kind of countermeasure, shielding or (if necessary) threat or sanction.
If it's being covered up why have NY Times, New Yorker, etc. covered this extensively with quotes from the alleged victims?
This seems like the opposite of a cover-up; media outlets are loudly and repeatedly covering this Mysterious Threat, and even gave it a catchy name.
Based on what evidence?
