Oregon Air Traffic Recordings Unable to Identify Strange Craft Traviling at Unusually High Speeds

Interesting.....

On October 25, a strange craft was seen — in broad daylight — flying amid the heavy traffic of the United States’ air corridors above the state of Oregon.

On the ground, air traffic control was also seeing strange things. Its radar was intermittently tracking an unregistered object moving at unusually high speeds.

So F-15 interceptor fighters from the U.S. Air Force were scrambled to take a look.

The unidentified flying object was first detected tearing through the air above Northern California by radar stations in Oakland. It was 4:30 p.m. It was unexpected. It was traveling “very fast at 37,000”.

Now "War Zone" has obtained ─ through a freedom of information claim ─ a small mountain of documents and hours of audio recordings detailing Oregon’s air traffic controllers' actions.

I had not heard of this untill today, anyone on ATS have any info? I looked and did not see a thread. There is audio too. Could not link it. I am looking for more info on this too.

Didn't seem to be traveling that fast.
Doesn't seem the military knew what it was as they sent an interceptor. Maybe they did that just for show?

At first I thought it was going 37,000 mph. That would be something.

I thought it was going 37,000 at first too....LOL....I did however realize after I took a second look...You may be right about the military doing it for show, to cover one of our own craft up. That is possible.

Zaphod would know more..... Seems to be going slow for a Military craft, but maybe it was just a test run. I would doubt a black project craft would go out at 4PM over a populated area.

Here's an article about it.

I have a theory on some private industry testing occurring that involves technology that could simulate these situations.

Imagine this setup:

A line of coordinated and synchronized drones, at altitude.

These are stealth crafted drones.

Let's say you have a formation of these in a line over a few kilometers. Every 50-100 meters.

A synchronized effort, to drop these drones out of their stealth profile and generate radar pings in sequence...

They could simulate extremely fast larger vehicles and provide radar negatives that fit the profile for these types of occurrences.

I'd have a hard time believing that such technology is not in production and/or late testing phases, given our current state of stealth tech, drone tech, and the synchronization showcased by corporations such as Intel.

Put the math together, and this type of formation is advantageous to any nation, is likely in active testing, and will have to be investigated henceforth as a possible root cause for any occurrence that matches this profile.

There are three SSTs in development. One is scheduled to fly a 3/4 demonstrator this year, and is a regular SST. NASA is developing a Quiet SST that can stay supersonic over populated areas, and the third is still several years from even a demonstrator. A small demonstrator will have a reduced RCS, especially at long range.

I heard about this a few days ago and thought it was what we had seen on February 4th over the same area.

We were flying Delta into SFO from Spokane and just west of us a craft/object flew by us extremely fast. I only caught the last few seconds before it was out of our site but the object was definitely white and not really metallic if that makes sense. It was pretty small, not like a commercial airplane.

Doesn't the military let the FAA know what its flight plans are? 37,000 feet is not ABOVE where many passenger jets fly. Perhaps Air Traffic Control didn't get the memo.

The aircraft did not have the transponders Commercial planes do, It also would not respond to radio calls.

2F15 aircraft were scrambled by our military.

There are several times when they aren't required to, such as when they're working an MOA and the airspace is closed. Or they're operating MARSA.

a reply to: kurthall

Which still doesn't rule anything out. If they're not under ATC control, they're not on their frequency. They wouldn't even hear the calls. Military transponders operate on frequencies civilian ATC can't see. If they have their civilian modes of, they won't be seen by transponder.

I guess that silence/secrecy will be tolerated until the first military plane collission with a passenger jet.

a reply to: carewemust

And yet, this has been going on since Vietnam days, when they began serious air combat training in dedicated airspace, and commercial planes aren't getting hit.

What does this have to do with anything?

a reply to: Staroth

It was identified as an aircraft, but too far to tell the type. It was faster than other aircraft around it. It dropped off radar as it was approaching the edge of radar range.

I'd say quite a bit.
