TYB
USAF E4-B, tail 75-0125, call sign TITAN25. Last seen almost a half hour ago over the Western Med. There were three, count 'em three, USAF air to air refuelers out in front of the E-4B as IT went feet wet over the sea. Possible that it refueled. Any anons have any speculation of who is on board and where they are going?
TACAMO. If like the others then it has a five mile long spool of HF trailing antenna rolled up, or spooled out.
Indeed. If one were to read the Wikipedia article to the letter and literally. Then one might be led to believe the others do not have same. Anon believes they all have same. And that this possible impression, that only one has the shielding, is a by product of crowd sourced editing.
If you look at the history of modern US Presidents. Then the headline might not seem so sensational.
Travelling DOD Brass known to US E-4Bs to conduct international travel.
TITAN25 picked up again by the ADS-B Exchange network. Italy the east apparently? Israel? kek!

Uranium Two
An Anon mentioned several months ago something I had not known. John Kerry went to Antarctica right after POTUS was elected. Decided to start digging on Antarctica. With Uranium One and Kerry's uranium deal with the Iranians being recent on my mind. Looking first for any possibility of a Uranium/Antarctica connection to explain Kerry's movements. Calling this series of digs Victoria's Secret/Uranium Two.
Many digs later I have arrived at a few conclusions.
1: They talked way more openly about presumably naturally occurring Uranium deposits in Antarctica during the last century than they do during this one.
2: This century the reporting seems to be accounting for any mention of Uranium in Antarctica as being due to atmospheric contamination blown in from uranium ore processing in Australia. With one mention found of readings related to fallout from cold war nuclear weapons testing.
3: There is a treaty that prohibits any mining in Antarctica but some of my digs find that the treaty is not even mentioned in news stories where it certainly should be mentioned.
4: There are a couple of mineral deposit maps of Antarctica in my digs. The legends even show a symbol for uranium. But I don't see any uranium marked on the maps!
5: If clandestine uranium mining operations exist in Antarctica then keeping them secret is the only way to avoid an international incident. An international treaty violation that directly relates to the raw materials for nuclear weapons production. We're talking serious blowback here folks. Potential for massive financial corruption seems to be great as well.
I'm left asking myself if something once in the public domain could be marked as classified at a later time? Seems possible but silly. Also would seem to be the hallmark of black hat treachery. Would an attempt at scrubbing the internet draw more attention, and possibly cause more damage, than just laying low and hoping for the best? Is it problematic to censor institutions of higher learning websites?
Anon sees a tamp down in the timeline. Find myself wanting high resolution imagery of the entire continent of Antarctica. And anon is doubtful such would be available as free open source data. The perfect hiding place.
The digs start in 1958 and run up to as recently as October 2019 and the current C_A World Fact Book (makes no mention of well documented uranium deposits in Antarctica). Is uranium valuable? You bet it is! Is uranium also the perfect commodity for ill gotten gains? It certainly lends itself quite well to the practice of secrecy. What with it being such a national, and international, security factor to government policies. Plausible to keep it behind the curtain. Automatic ironclad excuses generate few questions. Oldest digs posted first. Most recent last.
