In a war zone the air craft will do black to civilian controllers.
Funny, I had same radar open before I came here and was wondering the same thing. When I turned it on, I showed 3 only. I'm thinking "What am I doing wrong? That can't be right." Strange indeed.
Yes. Something is definitely going down. It's nearly 8 AM EST and only 3 aircraft aloft.
That is trippy. Would make sense if they were engaged in some kind of operation. I'd imagine first thing they'd do is shut off anything giving their positions away.
Agreed. What is really strange is no activity showing in Texas. Nada.
I noticed that.
7:42 central time zone - nothing showing over San Antonio. AFB's Lackland, Randolph, Kelly (old one) - and no military in the air. Strange.
Agreed.
Real possible explanation (conjecture):
During the events of the past few days, has heightened security or emergency alerts caused an abnormal number of military planes to be in the air at the same time? Afterwards, these aircraft have to be serviced and the pilots "run out of hours" and have to have ground time to rest.
Also, if an expected event is in the near future, they would be prepping aircraft, getting in maintenance, loading equipment and weapons. Also, the pilots would be briefing and resting.
We know the NG already have ground troops on alert and they will stay on alert for the next 30 days, through the inauguration and beyond. It is not out of line to consider that the air force and other agencies would be doing the same thing, especially given the events of the past days and the heightened tension.
This does not necessarily mean that they are going to perform military action. But they may have to prep for it even though it won't be needed. A lot of military action is doing patrols and guarding, not shooting and dropping bombs.
Edit: It is also possible due to heightened security that they were ordered to run silent. They can turn their ADSB transponders off.
Anybody ever see or have any info on these two "Ground tests" that popped up in Dallas and Miami? screenshot (pic8.co)
I've seen several in the past few days pop up..........
MonkeyWerx said the sniffer helicopter was in Amarillo TX yesterday. The sniffer finds evidence of nuclear or potentially deadly chemical activity ......
