So u were in MC, do u think they’ll just give up on us? Man I’m really let down rn I can’t wrap my mind around that the military patriots would just do this.
Refuelers either are on a "stick" (long line that they follow back and forth) or a "station" (generally circles or long oval patterns) depending on other aircraft in the area that need refueling.
Lol 8 years in the USMC taught me two fucking things. The military loves to train, and loves to waste money.

Fighters generally don't transpond.
Those circles are called being "on station" not unusual

There have been a lot of refuelers up that is for sure.
Many fighters and "other" aircraft that don't want to be seen.
It's been doing a lotta loopty loo's but we will never see what it's refueling I assume. It's keeping around 25k ft, who knows what it's there for.
B-2 Bomber Flying Wing wont transpond I would think cause they don't want anyone to know they are being spied on or bombed on.
I worked on the B2 when it was a Black Project in the late 80's at Northrop in Pico Rivera, CA. A very cool aircraft.
There was that same plane doing that this morning. Not sure if the same exact one but the same type of plane
