Data point. The military has turned off ADS transponders for 99% of their flights.

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.

People need to understand how it works. It’s tempting to say, oh, they just aren’t flying a lot today. That’s not how it works.

There is a minimum number of flights that are duty flights. The crew is tasked to fly no matter what, just to fly. You will see a flight leave somewhere, fly across the country, do a few touch and goes, and then fly back. There is a minimum number of duty ASW aircraft that are tasked to just fly around the coast. Every single day. They are on duty. Same goes with the helos. With all of the different aircraft. You should expect to see a minimum level of activity every single day of the year. Usually 150-220 seems to be the average.

It’s no different than having guards on duty at the base. Every day, that number generally stays the same. There isn’t a day when they say, well let’s just have 4 duty guards today, instead of 12.

That doesn’t even cover the daily cargo flights and tankers. The logistics of moving shit around every single day is staggering. How do you get parts for an aircraft carrier in Washington? Or a destroyer? Think of the supply chains each big base uses to get parts and food every day.

A quiet day in the sky for the military would be 150 aircraft. Right now it’s like 7. There are zero ASW aircraft up, when we have been averaging 4 just around the southeast US for years.

They absolutely have transponders off today for the majority of their traffic. That could change any minute. Maybe tonight we are back to 200. But right now, the shit is weird.
