Mystery flight circles over Denver; officials have few answers

(I'm coping my response from the other thread)

My first thought when I saw this thread: this has happened before!

So I got to digging around on ATS
FBI Secret AirForce ATS Thread May 7, 2015
Creepy Mysterious Aircraft ATS Thread May 30, 2015

I don't know that these threads are related but they seem to be about the same thing...

Neither have anything to do with this. This aircraft is military, based out of Nebraska. It's a command and control aircraft.

a reply to: Zaphod58
Thanks Zaphod! Just remembered seeing those threads and thought it rung a bell.

I knew Zaphod would have some better info on this. Im just excited I got to post about aircraft before him!!!

There are also usually 2 E-6's based at Travis AFB in CA, which appears to be where this flight originated...

It just occurred to me that they might have been supporting the large force exercise taking place in the Powder River MOA this week.

The Iron callsign is usually used by VQ-3 out of Tinker AFB.

Hmm. Any of the Old Conspiracy group still around that remembers the Denver International Airport Conspiracy. If this aircraft was set to be the new "Alice"(old SAC members would know) could it have sonar capability ? Could it have been pinging the DUMBs located underneath to make sure all was structurally sound before the upcoming Apocalypse ? Gotta take care of that hierarchy I tell ya

a reply to: Gothmog

No it doesn't. It has VLF capability but no sonar capability.

And you know this as negative , how ? Damn , every square inch of Alice was classified. Even down to a sin if you saw it without being the ones working on it...

a reply to: Gothmog

By being around them. I dealt with Looking Glass for years before they were retired, and I dealt with Mercury for a number of years, from when they were TACAMO until after they took over the Glass mission.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Well, here you go...


Navy identifies mystery plane...mission classified

That is all.

ETA...so it looks like Zaphod was correct (again).

Hmmmmmmm....

This is really weird! Now that I think about it we did see some curious vehicles at the airport on Wednesday. There were two blacked out Suburbans, one towing a trailer with this crazy looking gadget on it (no idea what it was, but it looked like a core drilling rig). The other Suburban, and two other escort vehicles were all unmarked (which is highly unusual on the airfield). They were being escorted with a proper (marked) escort, but just the fact that all the other vehicles were unmarked and all blacked out was odd.

I actually thought it was some kind of motorcade at first until I saw the trailer with the wild looking gizmo on it. It was a couple hundred yards away when it went by so I didn't get a good look at it, but it was definitely an assembly of some kind on a custom trailer. It wasn't particularly large (18' trailer roughly).

A couple other people noticed it at the same time I did and commented..."who are those guys and what the heck is that thing?" I just chalked it up to being some sort of a bomb detection device or the like. I didn't see this story intially until I came home and didn't even make the connection until reading this latest article.

It's Navy TACMO.....based out of Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. I know alot of crew out there...they are all having a good laugh over this...

The vehicles we saw may well have been unrelated, but it was shortly after the flight sighting. So if they were testing some drone detection capabilities (as noted in the article) that might explain the odd looking trailer.

It's probably Google, they use Govt looking blacked out vehicles (not sure why), but they've been launching balloons in Nevada also, and have a Helo go and find the downed balloons. They're testing signals.

a reply to: 38181

It could have been. Google has been out there quite a bit mapping stuff.

Can't imagine why they'd be launching balloons at an airport, but I guess crazier stuff has happened.

Thousands saw a plane circling the Denver metro area late Wednesday morning, questioning where it may have come from and what it may be doing. Officials at a host of federal organizations had few answers. Denver7 began tracking a flight named IRON99 as it traversed from California over the pacific. It traveled over the Rocky Mountains and eventually over the Denver metro area.

When contacting the military, including both U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) and United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM), neither organization could confirm the identity of the plane, or even locate it.

Mystery flight circles over Denver; officials have few answers

"The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) also investigated the flight, however they couldn't locate the flight or confirm its existence. When asked if the flight might have been a high-profile person, officials said the only high-profile flights in the air were in New York and Indiana.

When asking the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) about the flight, there was no information immediately available, however the organization said it would continue to investigate.

It's not known what the flight's purpose was, but Denver7 can confirm its destination wasn't in Colorado."




Im surprised Zaphod58 hasn't posted this already. I can't believe I beat that guy to the punch on a aircraft related post LOL.

But this is pretty weird. They are saying it was prob a military flight but neither NORTHCOM or STRATCOM could locate it or identify it. So much for feeling safe at home if this plane can just fly over an airforce and several states base without checking in.

Omg really do I have to point this out?
Just because they allegedly have said they don't know what or where it's from or if it's even up there, does not mean they do not know what it is where it came from and what it is doing and why it's there.
It was probably a military plane testing something or doing something that was classified.
Just because they ask the military about something g doesn't mean they are going to get the truth.
The military is doing things that are classified for a reason. So that YOU can feel safe and sleep easy at night.

If you really think that someone flew a plane into IS airspace and circled around for a while and the military let alone norad wouldn't know than wow.

Isn't a E-6B a Air Force Laser battery ship? You know , similar to the one that burnt down that plane over Shanksville,PA..

In either case I believe a warning might have been seen to or from the D.U.M.B. base under Denver Airport.

Meaning don't mess with our ace in the hole over here. Or we'll burn you down like the iron girders of the World Trade towers (Iron 666).

Or possibly if you don't vacate this base we will turn you into liquid iron, flesh bones and blood like the towers.

Somebody is sending a message LOUD AND CLEAR. The War is on.

a reply to: Yule C Mann

No. And there wasn't one on 9/11 either. The only airborne laser that has flown recently is the YAL-1A and it's been in the Boneyard for years. It flew from 2002 to 2012 and was scrapped in 2014.
