Last I heard, dedicated security wasn’t even military anymore at Langley. It could have changed depending on fpcon levels or how many MP’s we have at home now instead of deployed.
Surveillance is one thing, then cameras pointing up, and then having someone to monitor all of it is another entirely. tracking down the alleged drone before it leaves is yet another. Think cop response times.
There’s zero reason they should release photos identifying the quality of their surveillance. Basic opsec. All they probably did is get proof, track them, get rid rid of them. No public knowledge necessary until it’s over.
I’m enjoying the armchair radar enthusiasts. The more misinformation the better for adversaries.
- withinboredom 3y agoThe military has equipments and people to trace a radio signal to its source. If they wanted to find the owner, they would have found the owner.
- boffinAudio 3y agoThe assumption that these things use radio signals is not supported by any evidence.
- actionfromafar 3y agoExactly! It could store and forward (later, after landing, with radio), it could use laser, some kind of very directional radio, it could dead drop a memory card somewhere before diving into a lake, there are so many posssibilities depending on what it is. It could also have been there just to test what the response would be, without recording or doing anything else but hanging around for a while.
- withinboredom 3y agoNice; that's something I didn't even think of.
- actionfromafar 3y agoMaybe it didn't use a radio signal.
