    Transferred to the U.S military in 2004. Two of those UFO videos were from 2004. Coincidence?

    The OBT is not operated by the US Air Force, it’s operated by the United States Space Force.

    It was developed by the Air Force under its Space Command but now Space Command’ has been broken out as it’s own force.

    Ignorance is bliss, they say, I assume, that’s an answer to this.

    obviously it’s them beaming covid-19 down on the 5G towers to spread it to bats and then comand the bats to bite humans, duh it’s super obvious. (PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY)

    That’s in case they stop working with Russians. Though it’s cheaper to fly Russian shuttles nowadays

    I believe it really is an experiment platform for the most part; but is a mult-function craft. Military has a vested interest in long-term satellites. This would permit the government to test components in space. The ISS is a good place for chemistry experiments, but sensitive things can’t be flown there. This would give them a good platform for that as well. It’s also been speculated that it can observe and even return small sats.

    It’s hard to guess what experiments the military needs to be done in microgravity. Certainly there are more things happening than simply running tests that can be brought back to earth story. The clue is the length of time it stays up there, why it is staying up there longer and longer. I wondered…

    There’s a lot of weird things in our skies lately. The clouds have triangles, squares cut into them. Lights in the skies at night that go way to fast and make turns that are not in our technology. Just saying

    If NASA still has Atlas rockets why have we been paying the Russians to get our people back and fourth from the ISS?

    • SPARTAN J

      May 22, 2020 at 8:06 pm

      John Salazar probably budget cuts make it hard to re-create a capsule for an Atlas rocket and plus i think Atlas is made by Northman Grumman or Lockheed Martin, these companies don’t work in the human space flight industry.

    I cannot confirm or deny that they are testing the FTL warp drive. These are exciting times.

      Can you just confirm it.

    I know exactly what they’re doing with it they are trying to interact with the mysterious Black Knight satellite that is in low orbit and then they’re going to try to catch make no mistake on this

  27. Peter Oshea

    May 23, 2020 at 10:10 pm

    The air force took it over from NASA so its purely for military use and the experiments are a smoke screen .

  28. patrick mckeown

    May 24, 2020 at 6:37 pm

    Yes… That’s the only possible conclusion.

    A tight beam high energy weapon to give targeted people cancer.
