NASA Circling DC-8 Jet Around San Andreas Fault Sparks Conspiracy Theories

Via ZeroHedge

NASA appears to have flown a Douglas DC-8 observation plane, packed with scientific equipment, over the San Andreas fault, a tectonic boundary that extends 745 miles through California.

The plane was spotted flying extremely low to the ground over Altadena and Southern California on July 22, several weeks after California’s Searles Valley was struck with a magnitude 6.4 and 7.1 within 24 hours around July 4/5.

NASA spokeswoman, Kate Squires, told CBS Los Angeles (CBSLA) that the plane was conducting a mission to study the effects of fire smoke on air quality. However, conspiracy theory-websites don’t buy the government’s explanation of why the aircraft was zig-zagging over the faultline.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the plane, with call sign NASA817, took off from Palmdale Regional Airport, an airport in Palmdale, California, before flying 2,000 miles over Central California and Nevada and then landing at Boise Airport, Idaho.

The Metro reported Californians were startled by the plane because it was flying at such a low altitude.

“It was scary, a little bit. You didn’t know if was going to land,” CBSLA reporter Jasmine Viel, who was commuting when the plane flew over her, said.

“Everyone kind of stopped in their cars, looking up. It was big and loud.”

Conspiracy websites point to the planes flight path, appears to have followed some parts of the San Andreas fault.

Secureteam10’s Tyler Glockner suggested in a video that the plane was monitoring seismic activity across the fault. Glockner said the government could be gearing up for the next big earthquake.

“A registered NASA aircraft was noticed doing zig-zag flying patterns near and over the San Andreas fault line,” he said in the clip.

“It’s almost as if it is scanning the ground as if to try and get more data about what is happening underneath. What is going on? Is something occurring? What do they know, are they gearing up for something? Do they know the Big One is coming?”

Conspiracy site allnewspipeline.com said the plane’s activity suggests NASA and the US government are hiding something from the public.

One Twitter user the plane is “possibly scanning for data and information about the new supervolcano that is slowly forming in Southern California.”

And possibly the US government is preparing for a nuclear disaster in Southern California because if the next big earthquake strikes, there are currently five nuclear reactors right along the fault.

A Natural News investigation into the geolocation of nuclear power facilities in California reveals that five nuclear facilities were built in close proximity to the San Andreas fault line, with some constructed right in the middle of earthquake zones that have up to a 50% chance of a severe earthquake every 30 years.

One nuclear power plant – the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant which produces 2,160 megawatts — was constructed on the coast, making it extremely vulnerable to the very same kind of ocean water surge that destroyed the Fukushima-Daiichi facility which suffered a 2011 meltdown in Japan.

So what exactly is the US government preparing for in Southern California? Is it the next big earthquake that could spark a nuclear disaster?

Why can’t this rig circle around Chicago and Baltimore on the days it’s too windy for the spy balloons-> and catch all the *real* mass shootings on camera?

Answer: They don’t wanna fix that shit.

No they don’t but they damn sure want to disarm the law abiding White folks.

It does seem a little suspicious. Not that a US Government agency is worthy of suspicion. Sic. The real issue underneath all this is that Stuart Varney is a sickening wanker that should not be on TV. And neither should FNC and FBC. Too bad there is no actual truthful reporting in TV journalism anymore. Except for maybe OAN.

Maybe lidar sensing but more likely picking up piezoelectric signals. Like the ones George Malley felt in the movie Phenomenon.

Most likely LIDAR mapping. After the sucession of quakes and aftershocks they want a new elevation map to see what areas have shifted.

What? No chemtrails??!

When Trump wins in 2020 many millions of CA libfuk heads will explode simultaneously. The explosion is expected to be bigger than Krakatoa. The Trump administration is prepping accordingly.

Waving bye-bye to that many libfuks would be a beautiful thing Stucky. But on the down side, we would have El Trump for four more years blowing the Israelis, relocating millions of illegals around the US with free housing, free healthcare, free food, free education etc. Don’t even get me started about how hard El Trump would grease all of his pirate class friends which means we would be left out in the cold again.

I’m sure a war with the Iranians would be a sure thing, so hard to get excited ’bout dat.

This is just a conspiracy theory story to discredit the leaks about the real conspiracies. They are stealing our money and our freedom and they are not using science fiction and little green men to do it. Can you say “distraction”.

By the way, just being on the oceanfront doesn’t necessarily make a nuke plant more vulnerable to seawater surges – but damn, putting the backup diesel generators IN THE BASEMENT where a sea surge could drown them and eliminate control power during an upset is a REALLY bad design plan.
Generator location is what really doomed Fukushima Daichi; had the generators been on the roof, the reactors could probably have been shut down in an orderly fashion. No backup power was the problem, not a wet basement.
