If you look at the colors while circling, the aircraft was ascending and descending. The E-6B pilots require landings to remain or become qualified, so they do touch-and-goes. That's extremely common for that aircraft. The E-6 does not have observational capabilities, meaning no infrared or radar to monitor ground activities. They do have a color weather radar, but that's for looking up/out, not down at the surface. Circling overhead gives that aircraft no advantage to "see" anything going on unless they were low enough to see with their eyes.
Looks like a very routine flight and not an exciting one at all. They didn't even get out over water to transmit VLF to the subs.
Explain why.
What do you think they were looking for?
No idea. TMI was just leased to Microsoft I believe for their AI computing needs. With all the drone activity off of NJ, interesting that one of our 'doomsday planes' was up and circled Harrisburg/TMI area at least 10 times. I don't know what's up.
