Keep one of the bad boys handy...

The aliens are trying to locate the remains of the Roswell Crash of 1947.

This is the military attempt to confuse them?

[Mouton]

Don’t some missiles rely upon GPS to find targets? Is this some kind of new air defense weapon being tested??

"Don’t some missiles rely upon GPS to find targets? Is this some kind of new air defense weapon being tested??"

Absolutely.

I the early GPS days, the military 'detuned' the GPS reading to civilians.

[ASA Vet]

Come on Bill, you know our jamming of their GPS system back in 1947 was the reason for their crash.

Upon detection of an incoming attack, it would be good if we were able to deny GPS accuracy to attackers, even at the cost of also jamming civilian GPS.

Not sure a compass would help a pilot flying IFR.

The only aliens in Nevada are illegal ones.

This is really a grand conspiracy to cover up for Google Maps rerouting drivers to the brothels.

“Not sure a compass would help a pilot flying IFR...”

Or the snowflakes tooling along in their Chevy Volt.

[I want the USA back]

Then all those “self-driving” cars will grind to a halt, their GPS systems chirping “satellite signal lost”.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Right before they drive you off the bridge.

[Orbiter]

Track a rouge launch then turn it back on itself. WTF?Splash. </speculation>

[null and void]

Is a rouge launch worse than a mascara launch?

[null and void]

They are legal here.

China Lake, located "just down the road" from Area 51.

Maybe a little more that a short afternoon drive.

[pfflier]

Not sure a compass would help a pilot flying IFR.

Seriously? Heading, attitude, altitude and airspeed. You can go anywhere without looking out the window.

[rarestia]

Was talking about a handheld compass, but I take your meaning.

[CodeToad]

“Not sure a compass would help a pilot flying IFR.”

Funny thing, it is a required instrument for instrument flying.
:)

[rarestia]

Shows what I know. I suppose that’s why I stick to nautical navigation.
