Planes receive mysterious false midair collision alerts near Reagan National Airport

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating why multiple commercial flights about to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport, near Washington DC, repeatedly received midair collision alerts over the weekend when there were no other aircraft nearby.

The alerts occurred only miles from the site of the deadly January 29 midair collision of American Eagle 5342 and a US Army Blackhawk helicopter.

Several flight crews reported the mystery alerts on their Traffic Collision Avoidance System, known as TCAS, on Saturday “indicating another aircraft was nearby when no other aircraft were in the area,” the FAA said in a statement on Monday.

“We were about 1200 feet, there was somebody diving straight onto us,” a Republic Airline pilot told the control tower just after 9 a.m. Saturday according to audio captured by LiveATC.net.

“It’s been happening all morning. Let me know if you see anything. No one else has seen anything except for on the TCAS,” the tower air traffic controller warned another Republic flight coming in to land.

Years ago right before 9/11, Cuba was mucking around with air traffic control along the East Coast.

Tonight I had what sounded like a military helicopter going overhead. I’m not far from a base, so that’s not unusual. I pulled up FlightRadar24, but they were not transponding.
