Crossing the Rubicon

[somebigguy]

Hey Gold, do you have this book. If so, can you tell me if Page 339 discusses false radar blips being injected on radar screens?

Hold on...

Northern Vigilance, planned months in advance, involves deploying fighter jets to locations in Alaska and northern Canada. Part of the exercise is pure simulation, but part is real world. NORAD is keeping a close eye on the Russian, who have dispatched long range bombers to their own high north on a similar exercise...

The Federal Aviation Administration has evidence of a hijacking and is asking NORAD for support. This is not part of the exercise.

In a flash, Operation Northern Vigilance is called off. Any simulated information, what known as "inject" is purged from the screens...

"Lots of other reports were starting to come in, " [Major General Rick] Findley [Director of NORAD operations] recalls, "And now you're not too sure. if they're that clever to co-ordinate that kind of attack, what else is taking place across North America?!"...[emphasis added]

Anything about Jane Garvey?

[Gold9472]

Hold on...

The fact that Jane Garvey indicated that as many as 11 aircraft were out of radio contact or off course was the most startling revelation. Was it an indication that one or more of them could be connected with the war games?
