"Here are the classified flight characteristics of what we believe to have been a Russian hypersonic weapon test but we don't know that for certain; we're pretty sure the Chinese weren't able to capture this data but we're going to hand it over to them now at the behest of domestic conspiracy theorists."
- aurizon 6y agoYes, The Russians test their research missiles off the US coast, when they have huge, well controlled land and ocean areas where they need not fear any US snapshots and US jet chases...
- bonestamp2 6y agoYep, and the 2004 incident happened during Navy training on a new radar system. The radar showed the "UFOs" coming from the area of San Clemente Island. I'm sure that's just a coincidence though, because there's nothing on that island except for one of the Navy's UAV airstrips. They even warn that the UAVs are very small and hard for other pilots to see, so they have a safety perimeter around the island. http://www.scisland.org/schedules/usageGoogle/safety_zone_info.html http://www.scisland.org/schedules/usageGoogle/safety_zone_in...
- aurizon 6y agoOne would anticipate the Russians/Chinese would be very curious about any new radars, so if there are any Russian/Chinese stealth drones they may well be deployed to sniff the spectrum
