Based on what I Googled from Latin translators:

CLASSIS CAECE: DARK SECRET (?)
DE MULTE NOCTE: OF MANY NIGHTS
NOLI ROGARE: REFUSE ENTRY (?)

Plus the star in the SW USA, perhaps NM or AZ? Maybe the patch is from the US Customs or Border Patrol? Maybe even from a US Army unit based at Ft. Huachuca AZ that does ELINT and SIGINT work?

Someone mentioned the SW USA star, thought it was at White Sands. And the total of seven stars was also alluded to as a reference for some space-based defense system.

I have some more info, see these links:

http://www.fas.org/spp/military/program ... dronov.htm

http://www.mara.org.uk/NOSS.htm

Apparently the ghosts are the "white clouds" and the triangle shape may refer to the satellite formation. Doesn't really jive with the Latin translation though...

Another interesting patch site:
