2:30 PM · Sep 26, 2024 We got a conga line of P-8 Poseidons headed that way. A space launch TFR going into effect at the cape. What is really weird is the TFR from the surface to 100,000 feet covering a large swath of coastline to the north. From Savannah almost at the way down to Jacksonville. Undefined and no details given. What the heck is going on here?

https://skyvector.com/ Been diggin' around and thud far unable to explain the very large Temporary Flight Restriction. It's a very large area and goes all the way up 999,999 feet. There has to be a reason for it but none is given.
Call to dig
military traffic? That's So Savannah: Bomb at the beach remains hauntingly mysterious on Tybee Island
On February 5, 1958, an F-86 fighter jet had a mid-air collision with a B-47 bomber carrying a Mark 15 hydrogen bomb during a training exercise. The pilot of the F-86 managed to eject before his jet disintegration, and the damaged bomber managed to make a harrowing emergency landing at Hunter Army Airfield, but not before it jettisoned the 7,600-pound bomb into the waters around Wassaw Sound, so that it could lighten its load and prevent the bomb from exploding in the event that they crashed.
A 10-week search mission by 100 Navy personnel was unable to trace where the bomb fell.
There are conflicting reports as to just how catastrophically dangerous the bomb is. The initial claims by the government were that it contained a dummy trigger and didn’t pose a threat unless it was disturbed.
But, in 1994 a document was declassified that told a different story. According to 1966 Congressional testimony by then Assistant Secretary of Defense W.J. Howard to the U.S. Congressional Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, the lost weapon was a complete, fully functional bomb with a nuclear capsule. If that is the case, and the bomb does indeed contain a plutonium trigger, the resulting explosion would include a fireball with a radius of over a mile and thermal radiation for up to 10 times that distance.
In 2004, a private team led by retired Air Force Lt. Col. Derek Duke discovered high levels of radiation off of the tip of Little Tybee that aligned with description of where the bomb was possibly dropped, but a later investigation by the U.S. Air Force determined that the radiation came from natural deposits of monazite in the sand.
One theory floating out there is that the bomb was recovered by a Soviet submarine and that is why it has never been located.
In 2015, a satirical news site posted a phony story about a vacationing Canadian couple finding the bomb while scuba diving and it being finally retrieved. Alas, that is not true and it is still (probably) still out there. Whether the bomb was stolen by Russians or is buried under 15 feet of silt, it is probably best to let sleeping monsters lie.
Understood. I was writing for others who may not have understood the context of our discussion. All good!!
