DRAMA IN THE SKIES: What is with recent curious military missions?

Just hours ago, Joseph Trevithick reported this on THE DRIVE: CURIOUS MISSION FLOWN OVER THE BALTIC SEA BY US AIR FORCE NUKE SNIFFING PLANE... The headline should raise as many eyebrows as a Cold War numbers station! What was the mission for?  This was the report: The U.S. Air Force's lone WC-135W Constant Phoenix "nuke sniffer" aircraft flew an unusual mission over the Baltic Sea today. This plane is typically used to collect air samples to monitor for spikes in radiation levels in the atmosphere, but can also be employed after nuclear weapon tests and atomic accidents to help glean more information about those events and track the potential spread of dangerous radioactive material. The WC-135W, which has the serial number 61-2667, carried out the flight, using the callsign Jake 21, from RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom, according to flight tracking data from ADS-B Exchange . Constant Phoenix aircraft have regularly used Mildenhall, which also routinely supports...

Double nuclear trouble? Intrigue in China and now Iran

  Iran’s only nuclear power plant has undergone an unexplained temporary emergency shutdown, state TV reported on Sunday… Relying more on the official ‘government’ word about this:  An official from state electric company Tavanir, Gholamali Rakhshanimehr, said on a talk show that the Bushehr plant shutdown began on Saturday and would last “for three to four days.”Without elaborating, he said that power outages could result.  Here is more we know from official reporting: This is the first time Iran has reported an emergency shutdown of the plant, located in the southern port city of Bushehr. It went online in 2011 with help from Russia. Iran is required to send spent fuel rods from the reactor back to Russia as a nuclear nonproliferation measure… Most of the media is still not reporting much on  Bushehr ..  BUT they also have not reported on another still developing incident at the Taishan nuclear plant in China.. Just as some are beginning to speculate...

All eyes on the Taishan Nuclear Power plant

  What happened at the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong, China? Scientists are busy tracking wind movement for a potential cloud of suspicious gas rising from a presumed nuclear power plant incident in China…. MORE.. Scientists are busy tracking wind movement for a potential cloud of suspicious gas rising from a presumed nuclear power plant incident in China. France-based EDF Energy, which partnered with China to build a nuclear power plant to generate electricity for the Guangzhou and Shenzhen areas there, has reached out to the United States for help in dealing with the situation there. However, official Chinese media outlets are dismissing the seriousness of the situation –or that anything is really wrong. China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group, the entity responsible for the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant, said through state media, The Global Times, that the “nuclear power plant has operated the reactors strictly in compliance with business license documents and technical pro...
