Going back to voat days, CORONA was the former Keyhole KH observation satellie program. It was for lookdown surveillance with extremely high resolution. There were 50+ different birds in this program and it supposedly went offline in the early 70s. That did not mean all the birds did.
High-resolution surveillance is valuable and having an off the books system to do this might have merit but there was a more valuable function. Birds need to send data to earth and earth needs to send instructions up to them....So.... CORONA became a covert communications network, the birds being used as relays and their orbits gave them global coverage. So here was an entire "private" network outside of cellular and landline phone eavesdropping and it was taken down. MIght that create a problem for cerain groups?
You were paying attention. I wrote a bit about spy satellites on Voat GA. Corona was shut down in 1972. Replaced by Keyhole and subsequent programs. I think Musk has been involved w putting up new class payloads for NRO. Interestingly, NRO opened up the kimono a bit this week w a JV with VA Tech and an open to public facility in Chantilly.
Yes, CIA named their vintage Crays after Snow White and 7 Dwarves. I believe the replacement computers were named after Sesame Street characters.
But let’s not forget about HAMR and HAMMER. That is where the real threat lies from an AI standpoint. Rumor is Brennan and Comey sold HAMMER and SCORECARD to the Chicoms/DS.
If CORONA does actually refer to birds, it may have to do w a series of old birds the DPRK/DS ran in a polar orbit, entering NORADs blind spot from the south. They were rumored to carry 50-100kt nukes aka EMP.
Yeah, there is a lot there and it's still just the surface layers. Considering the scope of the known .gov budget including black projects it would be easy for programs to be forgotten. I always go back to the scene in Bourne Identity where the agency type is in front of a subcommittee talking about various programs and basically says "That one did not work out." and onto the next item. But the item remained active.
And who would know? The IGs are supposed to call this crap out but do they and who's to say some are comped? You'd only need a few for programs to continue on renamed, rebudgeted under something entirely different and staffed with the proper people. Any number of groups & equipment could be retasked. State Dept. 7th Floor group comes to mind, hiding in plain sight. A great physical example is a Nazi weather station set up in Canada during WW2 in a remote area. It was labeled Canada Meteor Group and it sat undisturbed for decades. If any hunters or indigenous people found it they left it alone. The labeling basically said it was legit and no one asked about it.
Can your "friend" possibly decode this for us? At this point I wouldn't be surprised to learn that article and all the RFCs mentioned within are actually coded instructions.
That's astounding, and above my pay grade unfortunately. Very strange information, apparently last edited by someone called "PigeonLover22". I also would not be surprised that what you're suspicious of is true.
Full disclosure since you went Real World here (thanks), the reason I asked for a friend is because my connection to "Internet of Birds" is based upon a series of "silly" comms I'm suspicious exist on the show 30 Rock. I felt self conscious directly stating it in this particular, big brain thread, but the phrase "Internet of Birds" is used twice as a non sequitur in show. It lies alongside more obvious Qlues such as a brief, cut away to an in-show SNL type skit featuring a chef simply saying "and this is what the inside of a child's face feels like" while holding up a cut of beef to an Oprah impersonator.
Among many very obvious WTF "jokes" the Internet of Birds struck me as particularly oblique, and then low and behold this thread appeared.
Remember when Russia tested that anti-satellite missile on the news and then same day there was burning debris on Fox news with the anchor going "Yaaay so pretty.... we're not allowed to talk about it"?

IGs are a crapshoot. I’ve met Horowitz and am on the side of White Hat. TBD.
There needs to be a massive purge in the IC, especially FBI, CIA and State.
I’ve been close and personal w State and it is a cesspool.
The Nazis infiltrated starting w Paperclip and it never stopped.
SES/SIS is infiltrated w traitors.
USG purge is needed badly.
Did not know this, thanks.
Would one, speaking code, perhaps call this an "Internet of Birds"? Asking for a friend.

Stranger and stranger.
Thanks again.
Bird is another term for satellite, goes back decades.
Thanks.
