Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands to the White House on Tuesday, January 17th

 

[RaleighGuy]

Unsure if this fits here, but oh well.

According to a new government report, sounds like there have been 171 UFO sightings that went unexplained recently.

AARO’s initial analysis and characterization of the 366 newly-identified reports, informed by a multi-agency process, judged more than half as exhibiting unremarkable characteristics:
* 26 characterized as Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) or UAS-like entities;
* 163 characterized as balloon or balloon-like entities; and
* 6 attributed to clutter.

Full report available here.

I haven't noticed B-1's too often, 00:44 Z --

Seems USAF is trying to make B-1's more visible lately since B-2's are still grounded as far as I know.
They have been popping up on mode s more often lately.They need to get B-2 back up and operating quickly.
Surprised the Buffs haven't stepped up Power missions in their place.
ALERT The Air Force is grounding its entire fleet of B-2 stealth bombers - AIRLIVE
