Don't have my radio on at the moment, but just had a 2 ship flight (flying very close together) of what looked like Cobras (edit: Vipers, would assume HMLA-773) fly over the house very low (~700' AGL) from north to south, showing as a TIS target on ADS-B with a track starting up north over Oakland NJ...

That was cool, sure that will get the drone talk stirring again.

Yup, that was them. Saw them leave McGuire earlier. A/A 264.2

With the current hysteria I am almost afraid to ask about these TFRs over New Jersey until January!

They all say, "No UAS operations are authorized in the areas covered by this NOTAM (except as described)."

Those are Security TFRs so the space aliens flying the drones know to stay out of those areas...Honestly such a waste, if it is a foreign government or space aliens do you think a TFR would stop them

OT: Maybe drone laws need to be updated. Funny that all National Parks in the US ban drones
but not around perimeter of Mil bases and nuclear power plants.. Hmm.
Not sure what drones at night can see anyway.. Most Countries use satellites anyhow.
You can overfly Dover AFB during the day with small plane with local tower permission..
I just don't see any advantage for night time possible enemy drone flying.

I didn't even catch they were only up to 400 feet and over electrical stations. It is sad they have to do this but people are wacko!

1413L- SAM 609 just passing by me, dropping down to 8k ft like he is going into NYC. (99-0003).
Landed at LGA.

This should be Sec Blinken.

Around 09:55-10:12 local tonight, I had several hits on 139.0. Sounded like helicopters, I think they were (accidentally?) using AM and FM. My first hits were on a Pro-2052 receives FM in that band, and the initial hits weren't intelligible, you could hear some modulation of some kind, but there was fairly good quieting, so I think those initial transmissions(maybe one side?) were AM. After that I'm sure there were several transmissions in FM that were loud and clear. Didn't get any call signs or details, was mostly just trying to see what was going on with the modulation. I see 139.0 mentioned in a few places, but nothing too recent and close.

A High altitude Loon Balloon went thru here overnight.. Guess no UFO reports.Headed to Europe?
At least it has ADSB.. Maybe larger drones should have mandatory ADSB broadcasting if there is nothing to hide?

Tower cam? How's that set up? Controlled remotely? Looks like it must have pretty decent focal length and a rather good location.

It a AXIS PTZ camera mounted 10 feet off my roof. 32 x optical zoom

Dover is about 25 miles away as the crow flies. Conditions were excellent yesterday for seeing distant objects - I could actually see the Dover AFB fuel farm from my upper deck with my eyes. There was a lot of heat coming off the roof but here is what the fuel tanks looked like from the roof cam. The red line I added shows the water line of the horizon.

Correct, That was TABOR61 flight. The same McGuire KC-46s that dragged TABOR51 on Tuesday were involved.

Found some photos of today’s arrivals into Lakenheath. Same Greek nose art theme as the other jets.

Not sure if this is true in your case...

I have a few frequencies in the 138.0 - 144.0 and 148.0 - 150.0 range in my scanner.

Occasionally I will receive RFI on those frequencies. I get hits on them with weird hum and, at times, sounds like whoever is talking is off frequency.
