‘Doomsday Plane’ Spotted Circling US Nuclear Base In Mysterious 7-Hour Flight
Officials have now released a statement!

People have spotted what is supposed to be a ‘doomsday plane’ flying in circles around a US nuclear air base in a mysterious 7-hour journey, worrying many that dangerous events are on the horizon.
While spotting a plane flying above you is a completely normal event that most people don’t even realize is happening most of the time, catching a glimpse of one particular type of plane does have slightly worrying connotations.
The United States government have what’s somewhat known as a ‘doomsday plane’, whose purpose is to allow the president to safely evacuate something like a nuclear blast, while retaining communication across key control centres.

These planes are modified Boeing 747-200s commissioned by the National Airborne Operations Centre (NAOC), and are known as ‘E-4Bs’ or ‘E-6Bs’.
Not only do these planes have nuclear and thermal shielding on the outside, but on board there’s also advanced radar and surveillance technology to allow its passengers to remain on top of all happenings in a hypothetical ‘end of days’ event.
Some people consider the sight of these planes in the air to be a bad omen, as there’s a chance that it could signal the president’s evacuation after pressing the big red button, so news of a recent mysterious flight above a nuclear weapon base has many eyebrows raised.
As reported by the Daily Mail, keen eyes using flight tracking website AirNav Radar spotted an E-6B take off from Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma and then subsequently fly in circles around Offutt Air Base in Omaha, which is a nuclear command, control, and communications centre.
The flight lasted 7 hours in total before it once again returned to Oklahoma, and the reason behind this short but perhaps meaningful flight is currently unknown.

There might not be reason for concern though, as previous appearances of E-6B planes in the air have coincided with pre-planned test exercises, as seen when President Trump contracted COVID-19 during his first term.
A US Strategic Command spoke-sperson told the Daily Mail that these flights were ‘pre-planned missions’ and that the timing in line with the president’s illness was ‘purely coincidental’.
So, while there is currently no statement regarding the recent E-6B flights, we can hope that they too were simply pre-planned exercises, especially considering the short distance and strange circling pattern that they displayed.
This is also far from the only time that E-6Bs take to the air, as despite setting the government back around $159,529 for every hour that they’re in the air, they are actually used quite frequently, taking officials and the president to various meetings and events across the country and abroad.

Bridge & Tunnel Crowd

There’s been a whole bunch of international infrastructure projects in the news this week, with a strong focus on digging.
Busy beavers and merry moles have been chattering about resurfaced plans for a $20 trillion transatlantic tunnel that could theoretically link London and New York in just an hour using vacuum tube technology. That’s 3,000 miles of burrowing, mind, which Newsweek estimates could take the best part of a millennium if construction proceeded at the same rate as Europe’s Channel Tunnel.
In plans that are actually happening, Norway broke ground last month on its Rogfast project, which promises to be the world’s longest, deepest undersea road tunnel. Elsewhere in northern Europe, the world’s longest road and rail tunnel, the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel between Denmark and Germany, is slated to open in 2029.
Southern Europe isn’t shy of a project or two, either. Construction of a new bridge linking Greece and Turkey might be closer to getting underway, the Greek Reporter said Friday.
Over near the western end of Europe, the UK is busy building one of the world’s most expensive railway projects, known as HS2 (High Speed 2), which now costs an almighty $416 million per mile. However, many people think it’s pointless.
