From a Reddit user
Heres a new rabbit hole for yall:
Sensor plane flys 1,000 mile grid patterns over NYC and NJ nightly last week from midnight to 6am.
This plane is a sensor plane. It flys with a long pole off the nose and 2 poles off the sides. The poles have lights on them also (the ends and bottoms)
The plane has 2 sensors of interest:
- Electronic radiological sensor. Capable of detecting multiple isotopes (uranium 238, palladium, gamma particles, etc)
- Geo-magnetic anomaly sensors. It can detect tunnels, mine shafts, EMF, maybe drones or other signitures. I'm not versed on this type of sensor.
The company who owns the plane works directly with a drone company and an aerospace payload company and frequently contracts with government agencies.
Sensor planes are not uncommon at night. Calmer atmospheric conditions make sensor data more reliable and there's reduced airspace risk.
I don't know what data they were collecting or if it has anything to do with the drones. The odd timing may indicate yes, or maybe these flights were scheduled weeks in advance, idk.
Conclusions: (in no order)
- Radiological material has possibly entered the country and our own drones and craft are searching for it.
- It was searching for drones/UAP geomagnetic anomaly signitures.
- Just regular routine sweeps of boring stuff like sewer systems, fiber optic cables, methane gas accumulations etc.
I waited 4-5 days before posting this comment as I did not want to interfere with any ongoing investigation or national security threat. If any mod feels this post is not inline with NS interests, please remove.
Last images were just from a plane and helicopter flying together over night. Not sure why, no additional info on it.
