I guess Wallops launch is on for 7:45 pm.. Spotter plane out there N140RL Beech King Air.
Assume plane belongs to Rocket Lab hence the RL in reg. Airplane departed out of St Mary's airport.
I stepped outside looking South but heavy clouds down there and full moon not ideal..
Seems it did launch though..

There is a SPAR-21 737 #05-4613 that just departed Luxembourg today headed Andrews where it originated Thursday night.
I saw a couple of BOXER 737's out of Andrews also heading to Europe the other day so assume that
was the Congressional delegation for Battle of the Bulge ceremonies.

B-52 bombers complete Euro-Atlantic mission
U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress bombers assigned to the 20th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron (EBS) have departed RAF Fairford, England, after successfully completing Bomber Task Force (BTF) 25-1.

US military reveals B-52 role in Syrian operations
The U.S. military conducted a series of airstrikes last week against Islamic State (ISIS) targets in Syria, deploying a range of assets, including the B-52H Stratofortress bombers, in response to the evolving situation following the collapse of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad’s regime. For the...
Busy BUFF's...
Especially the GRIMM's are kicking the doors over Syria right now with unverified reports, they are conducting so called 'terrain denial' airstrikes. According to an unverified report, past hour a B-52 struck the "Dirt Bridge" near the "7 villages".

As of the drone reports I personally think, there could be companies such as Lockheed Martin or their Skunk Works team or even Elon Musk developing new unmanned drones for law enforcement or US military. Especially the USAF wants to explore what drone swarms are capable of, and is therefore conducting tests over remote areas in Nevada. It is possible the Govt. was told to remain silent. Especially what has been going on in Ukraine and the Middle East, new drone technologies and advanced tactics are in high demand. Let us not forget, the 160th SOAR sometimes conducts military exercises over cities such as San Antonio, Los Angeles, San Diego, Miami and so on. These exercises trim our warfighters for the most complex fights of today and tomorrow.
There could be also kids or even grown doing a "biker club" sort of thing. They meet at the same time and fly drones around "for fun" which would be inconvenient.

By the way MDmonitor made my day, thank you so much for sharing sir!
The B-52 combat pictures are recent pictures showing, the first B-52H Stratofortress, reg. 60-0007 'Guardians of the Upper Realm', 23rd BS, now assigned to the 69th EBS for their combat rotation, 5th BW, Minot AFB, ND.
The second B-52H Stratofortress, reg. 61-0040 'Spirit of Minot', 23rd BS, also assigned to the 69th EBS for their 6 month OIR combat deployment, 5th BW, Minot AFB, ND.
Just take a look at their actual combat loadout. 8x GBU-38's and Laser GBU-54's v1 and v4 on each wing. And bigger drum sticks under their belly with GBU-31's v1 and v4, LGBU-56' v1 and v4 and the bunker busting GBU-31v3 and LGBU-56 v3 (attached to their conventional rotary launcher, CRL). The v4's are low collateral damage bombs used exclusively by the Navy, the Air Force is using them too.
It's in the second link.

Working further north and lower altitude than normal. Off the coast of OCMD/Bethany Beach @FL190.
Saw ANZAC and thought odd callsign as there is a ANZAC day in New Zealand and Australia for WW-1
battle.Must be computer gen callsign.
ANZAC-49 talking with someone on 267.500 saying we are only in Northern part of W-386 and will have to
ask GK about the other portion. ANZAC comes up on GK 238.100 asking about Delta-Echo-Hotel,India,Gulf?
Cleared with FIJ and freq 320.450. (NAS Patuxent River MD Echo Control/AR636/ Atlantic Test Track).
I guess working with Pax River Navy assets.
Just heard "disconnect on left wing" from someone on 267.500.Must be their boom freq.Moving South out of my range.
