I was expecting this. There are currently 4 cargo planes visible. No ASW flights, no ISR flights, no Stratcom flights and none of the Blackhawks have transponders on. We went from average daily activity of 300-400, down to 4 sometime last night.
Could be nothing. But it could be something huge. It’s actually more spooky than seeing a huge number of activity. Transponders are left on for a variety of reasons. A big one being safety. They use them for a reason. Turning them off is not a decision made lightly. It’s basic risk management.
Something caused them to choose to turn off the transponders. The need for secrecy right now outweighs the safety provided by using transponders. It’s not done for fun. It’s not a normal state of existence.
Gotta admit, the timing is interesting. The election system is obviously completely broken. We are being shown. Q is posting more frequently now, “taking control” was mentioned.
Don’t get too excited. But this is definitely very unusual. Another sign that something large is occurring that we aren’t being told.
Update. 1050 east coast time starting to see traffic again. So for whatever reason, from about 9 pm east coast time yesterday, until about 9 am, transponders were off. There are too many reasons to list what could have caused it. My hunch would be that they wanted to move assets around without anyone noticing. We aren’t the only ones watching. Our enemies of course are watching 24/7. A 12 hour window would allow you to move a bunch of shit around without anyone seeing it.
Stay frosty.
Even with transponders off for the mission birds, the tankers are often visible.
If they're not, then it's likely something serious.
Looks like there are about 10 things up right now. Is that normal for a Saturday morning? Holiday weekend?
Yeah it was very low yesterday too - someone posted on TS and I verified at 1022 MST 66 over CONUS. But yeah - is that Veterans day? It's now starting to fire up, from 23 to 28 in the last 5 minutes - so I guess the big questions are:
Does the military normally not do much on Veteran's day, have R&R/remembrances/what have you, or is is a normal work day/ignored more or less?
How does today develop
10 days of darkness?
