I'm watching N610G right now. It came into Dulles earlier from Alabama. Departed a bit ago and Planefinder show that it's heading to GVNP Cape Verde.
Some BLUE tankers have been through the area too, but not heard.

Hearing the Andrews trunked channels. Could be a regular thing for me now via the Mark Center site.

Guys,
This morning hearing strange "noise" on 267.35 (both AM & FM). This freq is used by Sierra Nevada Corp. Sounds like some sort of encrypted signal.

Guys,
Have couple of flts of NJ ANG F-16s (Devil 11 & 21) working at Kiowa MOA (233.45). Not sure but sounded like they said they would be heading for Warren Grove after Kiowa.

I'm not savvy tech-wise but they have been known to test video uplink/downlinks. Would that make sense for that signal?

Travis,
Not hearing anything from them on ATC freqs. If they are stopping in our area I would guess either Andrews, Dover or Dulles.
Maybe they are just passing thru.

Yeah I have this as EP-3E type from VQ-1 Whidbey Island.
Rare East coast visitor as only 11 of these in the Navy and mostly work the Pacific.
Sounds like Pax River test bed for now.

I think they may be using that area to test their upgrades.

I even logged a Boeing jet doing circles in that area. N614BA

LANCER44 P-8A 168763 with ZDC 126.875 descending from FL340
1756- Just heard a flight on ZDC 134.5 asking about some balloons below. I figure it's those radar aerostats at Aberdeen. LANCER44 down to FL150. Looks like it's going into Atlantic City.
1821- Heard with KACY tower via LiveATC
1836- Doing approaches, one more ILS then outbound

Washington D.C.,
October 24, 2015 - The newly released Soviet "War Scare" report - previously
classified "TOP SECRET UMBRA GAMMA WNINTEL NOFORN NOCONTRACT ORCON" and
published today after a 12-year fight by the National Security Archive - reveals
that the 1983 War Scare was real. According to the President's Foreign
Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB), the United States "may have inadvertently
placed our relations with the Soviet Union on a hair trigger" during the 1983
NATO nuclear release exercise, Able Archer 83.
Policymakers, and now
historians have had vehement disagreements about the War Scare, leading some to
describe the debate as "an echo chamber of inadequate research and misguided
analysis," and the CIA itself to downplay the danger in its 1984 review. This
newly declassified PFIAB document, however, provides the strongest evidence to
date that the danger of the War Scare was real, as the only study written with
access to all US intelligence files on US/NATO actions and the Soviet response
in the fall of 1983.
