F-16s Scrambled to Intercept “Potential Drone” Near Andrews Air Force Base
January 31st, 2025Via: The Warzone:
A C-32A VIP transport jet on a special air mission (SAM) had to delay landing at Joint Base Andrews on Saturday because two U.S. Air National Guard F-16C Vipers and a U.S. Coast Guard MH-65 helicopter were scrambled to intercept a “potential drone” flying near the capital region, according to Air Traffic Control (ATC) audio posted online the internet. The object was observed over Freeway Airport located about 10 miles north of Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, according to that audio. The incident began around 8:30 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday.
The C-32A was using callsign SAM47, which makes it clear neither POTUS nor VPOTUS were on board, although it was likely operating in support of the President’s movements to the West Coast.

“Just be advised that we have an active scramble about 10 miles north of Andrews and just waiting on the jet to depart there … active intercept so that is the reason for the delay vector,” the ATC operator explained.
The ATC operator told the Coast Guard helicopter, callsign BLACKJACK01 and one of the F-16s, callsign BRAVE01, that the target of interest (TOI) was “a potential drone [flying at an altitude of] between 5,000 and 6,000” feet. A second Viper, callsign BRAVE02, was also launched to track down the potential drone.
“BLACKJACK01, the TOI is now off about one to two o’clock, four miles south,” the ATC operator told the helicopter, guiding it toward the target. “It looks like it is in the vicinity of Freeway Aiport,” a privately owned airport in Mitchellville, Maryland.
Several minutes later, ATC asked if BLACKJACK01 had intercepted the TOI.
“Negative for BLACKJACK01, negative.” the helicopter responded before being given further guidance from ATC.
“BRAVE01, turn right heading 320 last known radar ping was northwest of your position at six miles,” ATC told the Viper’s pilot.
“BLACKJACK01, navigation is approved and just be advised I’m not showing a target anymore,” ATC told the helicopter a few minutes later. “No more TOI.”
I should make a tinfoil coat and pants. The hat has served me well.
Sure looks like we’ve been under attack and we’re currently under attack. What the hell is in the queue? I can’t get continuity of gov out of my runaway trains-of-thought.
Regarding DJ, wasn’t there a “memo” (?) that JFK sighed, was never implemented, yet remains legally viable? I’m referring to one that shifted intelligence under DOD. I’m curious if anyone else remembered that or thought it relevant to anything.
The ultimate suit for conspiracy theorists! Futuristic tracksuit made of pure silver blocks radio waves so no-one can track you

It costs USD 4,836.39, more than tinfoil, but comes ready-made. It is stronger and weighs less than tinfoil. Also, it is much more flexible and less easily torn. Wonder if it is machine-washable?
Michael Ruppert’s ‘Crossing the Rubicon’ had something to say about backdoors into air traffic control. This is from a speech he gave:
IN SOME CASES FALSE BLIPS WERE DELIBERATELY INSERTED ONTO FAA AND MILITARY RADAR SCREENS AND THEY WERE PRESENT DURING (AT LEAST) THE FIRST ATTACKS.
