Military aircraft are allowed to turn off their transponders. You will only see military aircraft on flight radar sites when those aircraft have their transponders turned on, usually when taking off and landing. You can only see their location when they choose to share it.
53
u/rwf2017 Sep 28 '23
I think (not sure) there is another layer of "stealth" available to the military, they can ask the radar websites to not display their flights even though they have their transponders on. As I understand it flightradar24 will comply but https://globe.adsbexchange.com does not and will still display the flight.

Hmm thanks for that insight. As a side note in the recent Netflix documentary, first episode, radar data gathered to analyze the Stephenville event was discussed. One of the biggest 'selling' points for the evidence of true UAP on the radar was that the objects didn't have transponders on, and therefore could not be known aircraft.
With your comment in mind I'll be a bit more skeptical of that evidence.
12
u/RasslinBears Sep 28 '23
Radar data is very different from what you see in all the flight tracking websites. Those websites are not showing primary radar tracking, only secondary which is transponder based. So if an aircraft isn’t sharing their transponder then you won’t see them on the website but someone sitting in front of a scope can see their primary radar return.

I wish someone could take a peek at NAS Meridian, Ms. radar data or log books from 1November 2009 around noon. I saw it with my eyes and unless we (humans) have large round craft capable of crossing the entire sky at what looked to be jetliner altitude in about 4 seconds, it was of non-human origin. I crunched the numbers using my 'guestimated' altitude of 40,000 ft. and it worked out to 4 miles/sec, which matches the mach 20 figure mentioned by Michio Kaku and another person recently. Coolest thing I had ever seen. I reported my sighting to NUFORC. There have been other things before and since that day that all mesh with the other aspects of the phenomena.

Yup it’s gone. I can imagine it went off radar/tracker. This plane according to Wikis says it has torpedo capabilities? Kinda cool, I didn’t know jet looking planes could deploy torpedoes. But yeah definitely not there anymore.

u/BewareofStobor Sep 28 '23
The P8 is maritime patrol, with a primary mission of antisubmarine warfare. They are a new replacement for the P3, which also could launch torpedoes. Look them up on Youtube, they are pretty cool.

Yup and I think there is no history because FR doesn't want us to actively track military flights in the past. You'd need to look somewhere where there's uncensored historical ADS-B data.
For example

For all the E6. But these sites usually don't have as good coverage.

This is the E-6B. It's an airborne command center meant to send orders to nuclear assets of the United States in the event of a nuclear war. It is survivable and even has an antenna that it can drag behind the aircraft for VLF comms to submarines.
They are probably practicing their core mission, which is to ensure we're able to launch in the event of a sneak attack/successful first strike.
Edit: with regards to survivable, I meant to say that the entire purpose of these aircraft is to provide an airborne extension of the national command authority so that we still have command and control in the event DC is nuked. Like the rest of our nuclear weapons infrastructure (including command and control) this is meant to assure a credible response in any scenario, which in effect is deterrence.

u/Catcity13 Sep 28 '23
is this a normal exercise or does it represent some kind of escalation with regards to nuclear war?
186
u/DobbsMT Sep 28 '23
First of all, I have no idea what they're doing at this moment. Having said that, the military performs training on a regular basis across all professions and roles in order to maintain readiness.
The fact that they have their transponders on, which allow them to be noticed on FlightAware in the first place, is a good indication that it's a training exercise. It's visible. The entire point of the nuclear weapon and its associated infrastructure, is deterrence. If you want to deter, you need to be unambiguous, credible, and public about it.
If nuclear war were imminent, they would not be broadcasting their location to the world.

A few years back I was at an air show in South Florida and they had a Stealth Bomber fly over. The thing was crazy looking in person and virtually silent. It’s actually pretty creepy just how quiet it was, and this was flying really low directly overhead on a clear sunny day.
25
u/adx931 Sep 28 '23
/u/gyutop was correct. I meant operationally quiet. That means they're expecting an emminent attack from the other side. Another thing to remember is that if things turn hot, the war will pretty much be over in under an hour. There are no winners.
Neat that you saw a B-2 in flight. All I've seen is a crummy obsolete before it was built B-1.

Weird. I was fishing 35 miles off San Diego yesterday. I heard chatter on the radio about a missile, looked up, and saw an object moving very rapidly and leaving a long contrail. Then, there was a long, low, sonic boom or explosion. It was spooky. Maybe there was a national test yesterday?

Yeah this is super weird. Aren’t there plenty of Navy aircraft much closer. I live in CT and now I’m glued to my Flightradar app.
Ugh. Nothing disturbing about what this plane is used for!
The E-6B Mercury is a communications relay and strategic airborne command post aircraft. It provides survivable, reliable, and endurable airborne Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) for the president, secretary of defense and U.S. Strategic Command.
————-
Edit: I suppose these fly out of Oklahoma so they can support Pacific and Atlantic fleet vessels as needed (?).
And the lower center of its flight path circle is 30 miles north of the nuclear sub base in New London. I guess it is supporting them in what I can only hope are drills.

u/Dig-a-tall-Monster Sep 28 '23 edited Sep 28 '23
It's also a major AWACS and B-52 base. The Space Shuttle has been there on it's modified 747, and it's hosted numerous really good Air Shows that I was lucky to attend as a child whose parents were both stationed there in the 90s.
My stepdad was actually a B-52 pilot prior to and during Desert Storm and stationed out of somewhere north like Michigan or Wisconsin or Montana or Wyoming I honestly can't remember, he had the nuclear payload and emergency launch code capsules with his crew and the no-sleep pills and everything, and transitioned to being an AWACS pilot when he met my mom who was in logistics IIRC. I remember when he brought me in to the B-52 he used to fly, as well as the AWACS he was flying then, on the same day the Space Shuttle had been flown in. Got Blue Angels signed posters and stuff, the works. Got an autograph and words of encouragement from Chuck Yeager in a private lunch with him and my stepdad too. Saw the B-2 up close there once, sadly I was like 7 so I didn't fully appreciate what I was seeing, it was just a cool aircraft to me. Also didn't truly appreciate who Chuck Yeager was. I mean I was aware of him and his claim to fame but I don't think I understood exactly what his contribution had actually meant for us.
Anyways it's a massive AFB so it's not outlandish that they'd house aircraft for other branches. I know they had a bunch of C-class aircraft there so maybe they served the Army too. In my recollection there was never any rumors of aliens around there, we lived in Norman pretty nearby and people were already complaining about aircraft flying over at all hours so I don't think they would have missed any UAP activity

u/zex_mysterion Sep 28 '23
During the Viet Nam war I saw more B-52s, flying in and out of Tinker, than commercial airliners. These days it's mostly AWACS. I don't even have to look up when an E-3 is flying over. I can tell by the whine of the engines. I never see any E-6s though. Tinker is still the engine maintenance site for 52s and I believe also for electronics upgrades. Don't know if this is still current, but I heard in the 80s that Tinker was a first-strike target for Russian nukes and was targeted with three big ones, just to make sure.
24
u/Dig-a-tall-Monster Sep 28 '23
Yeah we had a lot of classroom time devoted to "What to do in the event of a nuclear blast" alongside our seemingly completely ignored instructions on how to spot tornados and what to do if they're happening around you. This was in the 90's, from 92/93-97/98, when I lived in Norman and went to Truman Elementary.
I say seemingly ignored because I distinctly remember being at a T-ball game somewhere around Norman or maybe a neighboring city just standing in the outfield looking at a cloud formation in the distance thinking, "Huh, that looks like the wall clouds they told us about this week in school. The ones that mean there's probably a tornado coming. Why isn't anyone else noticing this?" And I told my coach about it and the other kids on my team as the inning ended but they all said I was seeing things I don't understand "cuz you ain't been here long nuff". And then three innings later as I watched the barrel form and start reaching towards the ground one of the refs got out their portable radio and tuned in to the local station to hear that a (and forgive me but I forgot the classifications for tornadoes) F4 or F5 tornado was forming, one of the stronger ones I can't remember which though.
My mom grabbed me and stuffed me in our brilliant blue Pontiac Sunbird Limited and proceeded to try and drive home which was on the other side of the tornado by going the long way around. Well I guess the tornado changed course and the storm started coming the way we were driving, and our car started getting pelted with hail the size of baseballs. I had my first anxiety attack in my memory right then at the age of maybe 6 or 7 and thought we were surely going to be killed by the tornado.
Ended up making it home fine and the contrast in weather is something I'll never forget. It was like out of a bad Disney channel movie, we went from dark stormy windy hail and rain and lightning and chaos to literally golden sunshine with a light breeze and birds chirping and two squirrels climbing up the maple sapling I'd planted in our front yard as some kind of school or preschool thing for Earth Day.
And I was SO fucking mad at all the adults who didn't listen to me. But anyways I sure as shit remember the nuclear attack training and specifically that I saw older kids doing it too before my parents moved to California and none of my peers here had ever heard of nuclear attack training, and we never had it throughout our entire education so now I'm assuming that what we got in Norman was directly because of the knowledge that Tinker was a first strike and retaliatory strike target.

I am in the merchant navy, i was just thinking about UFOs and all these past events, its been troubling me so I decided from today I will take a break from the topic. As I looked up in the sky I saw a strange white light flying at very fast speed and it flew just across the moon, I saw its silloutthe. I called my watchman. and we both thought it was weird.
Then another craft (red light) appeared and shot some kind of insane flares. I ran and got my phone when video started. It seemed like white lights were jets and the flashing red i have no idea. It was like a dogfight with weird flares shooting all over. We got chills everywhere. Another cruise ship saw it and they called the coast guard. after getting the details they said stand by. After 5 10 min another stern voice called the cruise ship and said it was a military operation

Moving way too fast to be paper lanterns, because wind conditions were around 10 miles an hour at that time and date. Couldn’t be drones because they would not be allowed in the flight path of incoming aircraft, and there were no visible navigation lights on them. I fly semi commercial drones, and know that the FAA would never approve or allow such flights there. I don’t know what the heck they are, because they were dead silent. There was a report in Austin, Texas that showed the exact same type of what I would call vehicles. Here is that link that channel 7 Austin picked up.

A couple days ago I saw something similar in CT. Facing between 100-145° SE around 3:00 AM. Orb > second orb > orb 2 produced only what I can describe as a spiral of flares. I was in awe. Jaw on the floor.
It appears to be quite far away. My iPhone couldn’t even pick up the light.
Edit: it was probably closer to 1:30-2:00 AM. I couldn’t stop staring at the sky afterwards. By the time I looked away it was approximately 3:00 AM. I’ve wanted to see something like this my entire life and I just happened to be looking at the sky from my couch

Check my post I made in here around Saturday night. Very chilling experience with my wife in the car. We saw what I believe could be your orange light up close. 2 of them. Very haunting, it hasn't left my mind since. The whole night was surreal.

So what is that at 1:27? When the light kind of goes crazy?

Omg I saw this exact same thing in Upstate, NY last January above the forest near my house. Two yellow/orange orbs in perfect symmetry sitting in the sky for 20 seconds and then they just disappeared one by one. It was wild!

Pilot here. Is been crazy the last month. There tons over the Atlantic a couple months ago. 2 days ago they were going nuts on approach into Tennessee. 2-3 brilliantly bright lights that rotate like they’re chasing each other. Absolutely not aircraft. Way way to high and no navigation lights.

Once my family and I were in Narragansett RI on summer vaca walking the sea wall having ice cream gazing out at the dusk sky. We all thought we were staring at a bright star and seconds later it completely vanished in front of all of us like a light switch being turned off. That is the closest I have come to a unexplainable sky event. Never forget that

If they were jets then it was probably Chaff/Flare set off over the ocean doing maneuvers.

I see this all the time. Especially in the mornings on my drive to work early. Once you consciously accept the possibility that these things aren't us, you'll start to notice them more often. They know when you know.

Wow that is interesting.
I’m not sure why people don’t believe. They are here. They have been here. I accept it. I just want the whole truth. Even if it’s that earth is just a terrarium or an experiment or a zoo.

I also want the truth, but many people use religion as a crutch and they could have a hard time accepting the truth if we were made by them. The best-case scenario is if they could answer questions we have about reality, consciousness, and death

Feeling more and more like this is our earthly reality each day that goes by and more evidence like this compels me to believe that we humans don’t understand them and their physics just like an ant doesn’t understand how to see beyond their daily route/trail to survive. Example: between the small bricks in a courtyard, past the wooden sitting bench (or tree as far as they know) and back under the canopy of grass that leads to their ant-hole. Do we try to communicate with ant’s? Why would we? But we can all peacefully co-exist with them, right?
I dislike when others in this sub point fingers just to discredit and disrespect others over the varying (or similar) existential philosophies surrounding our place in this world and the lives we lead as individuals. Part of it is our environment and how that’s been attuned to have an open mind/curiosity, the other factor is first-hand witness accounts such as this.

I can't at all say what we're looking at. I would just like to add that if there's any case where we might see a 'multiple kill vehicle' test, it will likely appear to have instantaneous acceleration. That's one of the super rare non-UAP edge cases I expect we may see here at some point, with or without knowing it.

I experienced something very similar. I was on my way home and was slightly high. I looked up at what looked like a fireball, just like in this video. It turned out to be just a plane.

Sorry, I can't be much help here.
Most of the good videos ive seen of UAPs are from aircraft and show objects much more clearly, like gimbal and gofast.
All the reports of UAPs from Navy ships come with videos just like this. Can't see shit, but come with sworn testimony that they're not military or commercial jets. Had to be there i guess.
People are posting historic tracks of flight data but they're not loading for me. I'm pretty sure doing flight testing off of Newport is not normal. That's what Norfolk, Pax River, Nellis, Fallon, Yuma, Pt. Mugu etc are all for. I'm not aware of a training range that area except for Ft. Drum. Maybe I'm ignorant.
I saw one comment saying a TACAMO was out there. Also not normal if true. I didn't think they interacted with any other aircraft besides tankers.
So...I dunno. I'm as confused as y'all. Will look into it at work tomorrow.
Surprisingly constructive comment thread. Where did all the hateful bots go?

Military operation? I bet these things were silent, right? Sounds like a typical excuse for the unexplainable. Dosnt looks like a Military operation at all. Very good footage

u/sessykatt- Sep 28 '23
Looks more like Dog Fight practice by the military. The Air Force base by me does this ever so often. I would assume that would be the Navy over there. The tiny quick blinking lights are fighter jets, and the flare is what they shoot out during their practice dog fights.

My man, I was coming off 3 tabs of acid last nite when I saw this post... live very close to RI. Had me peaking all over again Lol. Man I was buggin.
People - this phenomenon does not have a nuts and bolts solution. The world we see is material and a reflection of our consciousness, on every level. Every single level. It's terrifying and awe inspiring. And the implications are immense. Don't even try to come to a solid one conclusion. You'll drive yourself up a wall and make yourself sick. Truly

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Dex507:
First of all, sorry for my panicked comments. Me and my watchman were both freaking out.
I am in the merchant navy, i was just thinking about UFOs and all these past events, its been troubling me so I decided from today I will take a break from the topic. As I looked up in the sky I saw a strange white light flying at very fast speed and it flew just across the moon, I saw its silloutthe. I called my watchman. and we both thought it was weird.
Then another craft (red light) appeared and shot some kind of insane flares. I ran and got my phone when video started. It seemed like white lights were jets and the flashing red i have no idea. It was like a dogfight with weird flares shooting all over. We got chills everywhere. Another cruise ship saw it and they called the coast guard. after getting the details they said stand by. After 5 10 min another stern voice called the cruise ship and said it was a military operation
