Seems like a great time to back everything up and put it all in a Faraday cage

NORAD is having themselves a time just now, F-15’s scrambling from Oregon and Montana.

 

 

 

I suspect China and/or Russia have started flooding the skies with balloons with radar reflectors dangling from them. Some have actual sensors; some doubtless are just there to harass air defense, get us to waste time and resources.

 

Still, a bright flash in the sky followed by all the electronics sputtering to a halt doesn’t seem entirely unlikely.

 

Seems fun:

    That is exactly what we should be doing to China, and what Ukraine should do toRussia..

    a friend used to work at the Portsmouth,NH naval shipyards in the early 1980’s. as a joke at night they’d tap hydrogen off the reactors, fill a black trash bag, tie a hatch cover (basically round stainless steel foil) to it, and let it go.

    Pease Air Force Base was close to the shipyards, and the only thing that could do any sort of interception on base were a squadron of F-111’s. well air traffic control would get a weird radar signal hovering near the shipyards…a huge return when the hatch cover was square to the radar, and almost nothing when it was edge on.

    they’d send up the F-111’s to figure out what it was. they’d fly right over the shipyards, going as fast as they could go, which was a fun show for the people working on the submarines. as far as I have been told, they never found any of the trashbags with the hatchcovers. there is probably an unsolved UFO report on someones desk right now.

      Interesting post. Soon to be followed up with KNOCK KNOCK “Open up, FBI!”
