During the early hours on Aug. 28, a WC-135C was spotted just to the South of the UK.
The aircraft was being refueled by a KC-135 tanker launched from RAF Mildenhall which met the “Sniffer” maybe out in the Atlantic.
The two WC-135 Constant Phoenix operated by the 45th Reconnaissance Squadron from Offutt Air Force Base, are an atmospheric collections aircraft used to detect the radioactive particles that result from a nuclear detonation.
They were deployed near North Korea in anticipation of Kim Jong Un rocket launches earlier this year.
The WC-135C Constant Phoenix is used to take air samples from possible nuclear explosions. The question is can it do the same for Chemical Weapons?
Someone speculates the aircraft carries sensor even capable to detect chemical substances down wind from the attack area days, or week after they were dispersed.
Another possibility is that the aircraft was either coming or going to monitor Fukushima radioactive leak.
But if it were to be on its way to either Japan or North Korea then it would be expected to route via Hawaii and fly over the Pacific rather than head east over the Atlantic.
Here’s the audio file of the aircraft arranging refueling with its tanker near Malta during its eastbound flight (you can download and hear the whole file on the LiveATC website where we downloaded the raw one).

[Arclight2011 says they are likely monitoring the nuclear releases happening IN Europe See video below for info (may be a couple of hours before it is uploaded, so bookmark if you want to see info on European nuclear releases including Penly NPP France..]
Nuclear releases over Europe – Penly, Catternom and the Budapest Medical Isotope Institute?
EURDEP is back on and it is showing VERY high peakd in Greece and moderately high peaks in the north western sections of Europe.. Multiple hits over the past few weeks.. And all covered up by EURDEP Germany? (I stand to be corrected.) And the Italian Eurdep has switched it back on (as usual)..
Greece showing a MASSIVE spike as does some surrounding countries monitoring sites including Austria. I cant rule out Turkey but the winds can travel from hungary to greece via the coastal medittereanian route like it did in 2011 after the Hungarian Budapeast Medical Isotope Institutes HUGE releases just AFTER the Fukushima Daichi triple meltdowns. The IAEA even tried to blame the Japanese instead of the Hungarians the medical disaster.. The IAEA is respponsible for that reactor anyway.. Go figure….
Plenty of monitoring “gaps” at the Penly radiation monitoring stations..
Recent strikes can be seen too! Last time i checked yesterday night..
Watch the rain as we dont exactly know whats in it.. There could be many isotopes but my initial findings point to largely Radon.. which could be hiding other alpha and beta energy isotopes? .. concerning the uk
3 and a half hours to upload this video 😦 blimey.. i better put the kettle on then.. 🙂
