Auditing nutters maybe?

[rodericb]

What a weird story. If it was "auditors" or, well, anyone else actually, you'd wonder why such a hullaballoo has been made about it. Considering the stuff they don't feel the need to have press briefings for it's strange that such a "bunch of nothing" news article has been pumped out. I saw this about it: https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/drones-ag... which had a picture of a drone, which MSN seems to have slipped in, which doesn't appear in the Daily Mail article they've syndicated.... Not one of the drones - just some picture of some military looking thing. I suppose the MSN "article" was AI generated.

I’d love watch an auditor attempt to audit Lakenheath

Can you upload to YouTube from Guantanamo?

[steveo3002]

Not necessarily an 'auditor' but similar things are happening at Lakenheath.

As previously mentioned, plenty of military aircraft activity outside of ‘normal patterns’ and reporting on National news.

Most of the well known auditors know the rules pretty well, thats how they get their reactions as they do stuff you might think was against the rules knowing full well its not.

They also make pretty good money these days I doubt any of them would want to risk it and lose all those youtobedollahs.

I must confess I occasionally watch AB and find him a bit more "normal" and I did laugh at the visit to a well known UK military base where he was told he was on private property at which point he said he checked before his visit on the land registry and the MOD property line is actually over there. Thought that was very smart!! The ModPol went off and checked on their phones lol. I think some of them are straight up weird though.

Still ongoing as of last night.

Some media reporting but oddly quiet given it's targeted at multiple USAF airbases including one that hosts nukes with F15s and Apaches dispatched in response. Especially when compared to the hysteria over some balloons drifting across random US states a couple years back.

Which US nukes are hosted in the UK?

Speculation earlier this year that they were being reintroduced at Lakenheath after the F35A got nuke certified

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-6812...

God knows if it's happened yet though (or even going to happen)

Thanks
If the build contract was only awarded last year then it is unlikely that they are complete and installed?

Possibly what these drones are trying to find out?

[steveo3002]

I suspect that even commercial satellite coverage would be enough to assess ground works?

Satellite passes are all known about so easy to obfuscate any work being done if you want to hide it. Drones are unpredictable - well normally, these seem to predictable to be nightly across 5 or 6 different bases apparently.

No way this is auditors as too widespread and their whole aim is to get 'caught'.

[Timothy Bucktu]

It's nonsense. It was either some numbnut seeing a Satellite going over (there are 100's visible every night if its clear) The Starlink train can be pretty alien like. Or it was a Star or planet...yes, people really are that dumb if this story is to be believed!

You think the USAF dispatched F15s in response to a starlink train? Lol.

There was a NOTAM yesterday that the USAF were going to be flying with no lights on, not a regular occurrence.

Pentagon confirmed it was occurring in any case 2 days ago in a press conference, go to 13:41

TikTok is excelling itself over these sightings, loads convinced we will be having a war with aliens on the 3rd and that they have come to save us from ourselves.

Yep, it’s all social media drivel but something seems to be going on, so is it drones flown by nutcases, drones from hostile countries or just some kind of hoax ?

Anyone seen anything over an airbase ?
