Groom Lake scanner audio (Janet and Boris)

reply to post by EBJet


Unfortunately, I don't have enough ears (recorders), though I do have a multicoupler for the scanners. Thus I don't know what was launched from Nellis because I wasn't monitoring it.

At one point it sounds like one of the planes was leaving the range, but then it seemed that all the planes landed at Groom. The problem with scanning Nellis control is you hear every yahoo flying around the range. Now I suppose what I should do next time is record the UHF frequencies of Nellis control. I most likely won't heard the tower, but would hear whatever military planes were launched.

Could be they were testing the Bars N011 radar against the F-22 or even the B-2 if it was indeed an Su-30 variant. Courtesy of India perhaps? This could also explain High Key (look up) and Low Key (look down). Or not. The use of drag chutes also points to a possible Su.

Since India said they won't even fire up their radar at the upcoming Red Flag, we can assume India isn't providing any help.
