If you were to listen to UFO conspiracy theorists the USA has had a secret space force for a long time already! Hahaha...

Nevertheless the potential threat from EMP is very real whether from the sun or a high altitude nuclear detonation. Here is a 40 minute interview with one of the foremost experts on the subject, Dr. Peter Pry. He also wrote a book called "Blackout Wars".

Another threat that gets even less attention, perhaps because it's never been knowingly used at high mass, is a kinetic orbital strike. EMP is good for knocking out the power grid whereas kinetic bombardment could achieve similar destructive effect as a nuclear weapon without EMP, and also without the nasty radiation fallout effects.
