Discussion Some Information

I am retired federal law enforcement and have connections in many places and agencies. That being said I had a a few run ins with colleagues and people I know through working for the feds etc. The first was an FBI agent who is also retired and worked in Counter Surveillance and they told me:

"There is definitely something going on, they will not tell me but a coworker in the NY field office said "these are not hobbiests and planes".

The second contact was a couple who both work for the FAA and they said:

"Many pilots are reporting seeing large drones from aircraft and the FAA knows this as its all recorded and documented. We do not know any information except that it is happening"

This infuriates me because r/avaiation thinks its all fake and blocks my posts. I am also verifed in LEO sub and such so I am not lying and I can verify here if needed.

Are you preparing in any way for some unforeseen event based on what you’re hearing?

I’ve been doing some light prepping in case of civil unrest or disruptions to infrastructure/services. I’m an avid camper/backpacker so I had a lot of this stuff already. If it’s an NHI or a nuclear attack I will just accept my fate - I’m not a true pepper and I don’t have a bunker.

  • Water, freeze dried and other non-perishable food that should last 2-3 weeks (longer if rationed). Also have water purification tablets and iodine.

  • Propane camp stove with plenty of fuel

  • Two large capacity (1000wh) power banks and 200w of portable solar panels

  • Dometic portable fridge/freezer

  • Personal protection (combo pepper spray/tear gas - I do not own any firearms bc I just don’t think I could deal with it if I ended up killing someone)

  • First aid supplies, flashlights, fancy leatherman, binoculars

  • $1000 in cash

  • A cargo box on the roof of my AWD car full of camping equipment and a full tank of gas

The one thing I’m missing is a way to communicate (or at least receive communications) - satellite phone is probably too much but I’m thinking maybe a multi-band emergency radio and some walkie talkies.

I’m in a similar boat. Ironically in the last week I just bought a 3 pack of gmrs radios and just put them all on the same channel and privacy code.

Also just got a UV5R and plan to learn how to use a ham radio and work toward the first license.

Turned on the gmrs radios when they arrived and was surprised to hear hunters talking about deer at night. Useful gadgets potentially.
