Some scuttlebut on Telegram:
Pilot was on a false flag mission, but did not cooperate, and foiled the FF. Possible nuclear, possible aircraft was DEW-equipped, possible destination was NO.
This retired military pilot doesn’t believe a word. And, if we had competent journalists with a modicum of IQ, they’d be expressing the same opinion. This story stinks so much, it HAD to come from the septic tank formerly known as the Pentagon.
Random tweets by goofballs on Twitter now qualify as news.
They should quote FReeps instead.
” “And it was kind of probably 100 feet above the tree tops and almost going inverted.””
Would the pilot have ejected right into the ground, upside down when he punched-out... huh?
The Chinese spy baloon that flew over the U.S. early this year was tracked over the base in South Carlina the F-35 took off from before the baloon crossed into the Atlantic. Was that baloon not only receiving electronic signals, but sending them as well??
Time to drag all those old Tomcats out from the boneyard.
At least they can't be hacked.
The photo below (from a site called "The Southern Gazette" with a ".ca" domain, no less) is the purported crash site. It is mighty small area, no burned trees, and all debris cleaned up. A large fighter jet with a large fuel load only left that small amount of damage in the forest? Yeah, right.
He probably weighed that against the 100% chance of dying when the uncontrolled jet smashed into the ground if he stayed inside.
If lightning disabled the Lightning II, we're probably not going to hear about it anytime soon.
Blancolirio or Dan Gryder will sort this out on youtube shortly I venture.
When all the other explanations fail, whatever is left is often the truth.
I have yet to see anybody absolutely say the F-35 WAS NOT HACKED BY THE CHINESE.
How do we know the pilot was a “he”?
The F-35B is the only variant of the F-35 that has an automatic ejection seat. That means that the aircraft can independently fire the ejection seat without pilot intervention if it thinks it's about to crash while in STO/VL operation.
The Martin Baker website: https://martin-baker.com/products/mk16-ejection-seat-for-f-35/
* Auto eject system: Active on STOVL variant only
What if the ejection was uncommanded while the F-35B was hovering, and the aircraft just drifted off after spitting out its pilot?
There may be a flaw in the F-35B's software code that caused this, and the Pentagon doesn't want to reveal that their entire fleet of F-35Bs could buck off their riders at any time. But they did a safety stand-down to attempt to mitigate the issue.
Slowly drifting off in a hover would also explain why:
* Local ATC couldn't track the aircraft. Normally, after the canopy is ejected, you'd think that the radar signature of the aircraft would go way up, but ATC may not track very slow moving aircraft in order to avoid ground clutter.
* A slow drift away while in hover would use up all of the fuel while only traveling 80 miles, hence no fireaball when it crashed.
* As others here have often pointed out, my theories are usually full of bovine excrement.
If you listen to the recording of the EMT when he located the pilot you would understand that the pilot meant he lost sight of the airplane in the weather after he ejected. The statement was in response to the EMT asking where the airplane went.
This has been misunderstood, ballyhooed and promoted as the reason for the bail out. Arm chair quarter backs need to stay in ghe arm chair.
The transmission was not just posted by a meteorologist, it was posted by several. The one I saw and heard was linked on this forum to military.com.
This has been misconstrued and repeated out of context too many times. It really does not bear repeating. We still don’t know why the guy bailed out of a flying airplane. I think he screwed up and pulled the ejection handles somehow. Anybody that was not in the airplane, including me is just guessing though.
“He’s unsure of where his plane crashed, said he just lost it in the weather,” a voice can be heard saying of the pilot on a Charleston County Emergency Medical Services call posted Tuesday by a meteorologist.
Lost *it* in the weather, or *lost it* in the weather?
Regardless, who would have thought that lightning of all things could be so stealth it could disappear in the weather? People might go crazy by overthinking it.
With everyone in search of the missing lightning, or busy making memes, these dayz are paradoxically Biblical:
Matthew 24
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
And in the PNW they've got fish spillage to deal with.
I think it was jetjacked by the chicoms and by the time they realized it was already over Taiwan.
A perfectly qualified McDonald’s cashier flying a $100 million fighter jet. Nice.
I suspect it was pilot error and the pilot was either a minority (black), female, queer, lesbian, transgender or a non-binary.
The people in charge at the White House and Pentagon are hell bent on remaking our society into the fustercluck of their dreams and they will allow nothing to stop “progress”.
