SpaceX Satellite Network Emits Mysterious Signal

TL;DR Summary
A classified constellation of SpaceX's Starshield satellites is emitting unexpected signals in the radio spectrum, potentially violating international standards and risking interference with other satellites. Discovered by amateur tracker Scott Tilley, these signals are unusual because they are transmitted on frequencies typically used for uplinking, raising questions about their purpose and the potential for space communication disruptions. SpaceX and the NRO have not commented on the issue.
