something she could not avoid or deal with....threats from her ex?..or threats from someone else?...hidden crime?...
(user makes a post about CONUS dark and Mil transponders off. He is asked to elaborate what things mean for non plane fags so the info is useful [fags in the 8k slang sense])
"It’s been posted a lot on GA lately, but for all the MIL aircraft to turn off/jam their transponders tonight means that something is up, as they normally keep their transponders on."
"Boeing C-17 is a heavy lift 4-engine transport, a BIG plane. Similar to the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, just a lot newer."
"Now. The C-17 is unimportant. The issue is the fact that NO military aircraft are "squawking". Every aircraft has a radio called a "Transponder". It's what civilian Air Traffic Control (ATC) uses to identify specific aircraft. It transmits altitude and other information that when combined with Radar, can give an almost "3D" picture of the airspace to ATC personnel."
"NO military aircraft are using the transponder, so the civilian sites, like: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ Can't see them. They still show up on Radar, but with NO identifying information."
The military has their OWN system, and civilians don't have access to it. So, normally most military aircraft USE transponders, it makes it easier for civilian ATC, but as of a few hours ago, all military aircraft over the continental United States (CONUS), stopped transmitting transponder codes.
It's unusual, and COULD (and i emphasize C-O-U-L-D) indicate a nationwide operation in progress.
That's MY take.
You other guys feel free to elaborate or correct my assumptions...

(((my note: they aren't always "on" (where we can see) but it is unusual "silence"))
Possibly she had a threat? Just odd. I'm sure it iwill be marked a Covid related death though.
