The type of missile used to down an aircraft at this altitude will leave a significant IR bloom. It's highly likely that the NRO will have satellite monitoring capable of detecting such a launch. Bear in mind that there's a significant amount of focus on this area at the moment so it's unlikely that the watchers are sitting on their hands.
