Given the sensitivity of surveillance techniques, we do not know the origin of the data or if other images are available, in the visual spectrum or via radar.
Based on the images linked from post 6512 (permalink?) they are sourced from Digital Globe. Coordinates and time are also available in the margins, which have been cropped out in many media articles.

What someone COULD perhaps release is whether these objects have been detected by more than one satellite or during more than one pass of a satellite over this area.
According to the story from post 6636 (permalink?), the suspected debris has been corroborated by more than one satellite. I suspect the released photos were intentionally sourced from civilian data.
