Army humvees (HMMWV) sightings: Western PA in back streets

I am the same person that posted about my husband being in the military. So yes, he is. My husband is not an alarmist type. Trust me, I am the first priority in his life and if he had any first hand knowledge of something happening, I would know. He told me what he knows. He came right out and said he doesn't know why the humvee would be there and it was weird. But like he said, unless we know more, we should be making ourselves sick over it. And in way he's right. What are we going to do? Sit by all our windows and worry ourselves sick? The OP is the one who saw this. Unless he or any others see more, there is nothing more that we can do other than just keep our eyes and ears open.

I live near a small airport that is usually used for charter planes and small aircraft. Sometimes Air Force One stops here to refuel and avoid the large airports of Pittsburgh and DC. Occasionally (every few months or so) you'll hear a jet fly over. It's never very busy, and I hardly hear any activity because a mountain separates my house from the airport.

So I was just smoking a cirgarette outside when I heard a loud jet fly by. I walked out into the yard to check it out when another jet flew over. Then another, and another, and another.
I counted 8, all low flying and scrambling in different directions. The second to last plane had it's tail lit up but I couldn't make out the markings. Most of them were obscured by trees, but I did see one in the open sky that was completely white.
I've seen Air Force One land before and it flew solo.
(or at least without a large posse of jets)

So I'm wondering what the fuck is going on. I thought it was maybe McCain or Obama, but I don't see them flying with more security than the president. (does anyone know how I can find out where McCain and Obama are campaigning the 23/24?)

Maybe it's nothing, but I expected to turn on the TV and see that a plane was highjacked or something.
I'm hearing helicopters and planes galore now, which is definitely uncommon, especially after midnight.

If anyone has any ideas of what's going on, please school me.
I'm kind of freaked out now.

Im a bit skeptical of that claim. "A small airport for charter planes and small aircraft" can handle a 747??

They need a quite long and wide runway.

Hey AC 534380, If you are comfortable saying, what small airport? I'm in the "general" area myself. Noticed a lot more air traffic over the past few months.

Obama is in Hawaii! His Wive is in Ohio! Mcain and Palin not sure! Info per Fox News!

Obama is in Hawaii!His wife is in Ohio! Mcain and Palin not sure! Info per Fox News!

401 posted, that, I was just responding.

13 pages and we still don't know shit.

One humvee with pain rays emmiter(the EM resonance thingy: their range is from 550m to Horizon ) is formidable thing in urban enviropment.

How this works in practice.

Was the antenna for transmission or reception?

..."Electromagnetic radiation cannot pass through a conductor, so the effect can be shielded by a conductive mesh or foil which forms electromagnetic shielding around the target."********* *********** ************** ******************
Great... This ADS might be ok in war, against a rioting crowd, but, usually guns are just effective, or tear gas.
What sick Ass thought this machine up?
Looks like we really do need to get out our aluminum foil.
Hmmmm
On another note:
What was alarming, was the NWO protests in Seattle WA some time ago. The Police showed up in full riot gear, and it was alarming how little consideration they had for the citizens. I have NO doubt they wouldnt give a seconds thought to shooting in the crowd,killing whoever.....

AND...

I dont care how loyal a soldier in the US military is..... when given a direct order, they must be pretty damn bold to go against it. Maybe one in a thousand soldiers would have the nerve to disobey a direct command, and that being because they know the personal repercussions afterward. Disobedience to direct orders, especially in the name of "National Security" would be treason..... eh?
With this ADS machine..... there is probably mind altering technology that makes the soldiers robotic in obeying their orders.
Already, soldiers are saying that they "hear voices telling them to KILL...KILL....KILLL".... so they come home and kill their wives?
It is so totally wierd.
But, and this is to the military wife, YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED. DONT GET SICK OVER IT, BUT,YOU NEED TO STAY AWARE. YOU OF ALL PEOPLE, BEING THE WIFE OF A SOLDIER SHOULD KNOW THIS......... AND IF HE ISNT TELLING YOU OTHERWISE, I WOULD QUESTION HOW MUCH DOES HE REALLY KNOW, OR IS HE JUST A MILITARY DRONE/PUPPET THAT IS SO BRAINWASHED HE CANT SEE THESE THINGS????

That is what I have noticed lately. Even with my own .... a sort of resigned, nonchalent attitude. A "shrugging of the shoulders if you will." And, a blatant disregard of what should be normal ethics and standards to be expected of our military personal....... I feel sorry for the military on one hand...yet, on the other hand, I dont. The military is more than just a guareenteed paycheck and housing alotment, and veterns loan for a house. It is a committment to be a cut above......a professional, that is trained to serve and protect US.......
Sadly, it is becoming a lot less. I see the military as deputized killers who do not think twice about "packing" here stateside, and shooting to kill....... or plotting a murder of their wife..........etc. etc.
I salute the "good ones" and I know they are out there...and God Bless and help them. I pray that they do and will have the fortitude to "Rage against the system" if and when need be.
Disgruntling times my friens............ BAD BAD BAD.

May I ask HOW you know you are from the same General area?
Do you know this poster?

Can't believe this thread is still on page 1 and still getting hits! And we're back to square one with no answers. Whoa!!

Sorry if this has been answered.

However the the truck looks like it is a comms station with all the good bits removed.
What would be left would th RF amps, and maybe power supplys.
This would be normal practice if the vehicle was allowed off base.

On the other hand it may be a mobile repeater station.
The dont need any specialist comms equipment, just power supplys and RF amps to remaplify the signal so it travles further.

IS that really the US woodland camo?
It doesn't look familiar unless it has been changed in the last 18 mnths

In general either of antenas can be used for transmittion and reception, but i would suspect they are FM.

However the smaller antenna is most likley to be a shortwave antenna.

Remeber all your wifi equipment is shortwave also.

My husband claims that the type of antenna on it indicates that it's a weather humvee, whatever that means.

Forgot to mention that for the record, he knows his military vehicles. He is an expert at all current and historical military vehicles, dating back to when tanks starting being produced, so I would believe him when he says this is a weather humvee. Now as to the issue of it being used for weather issues, I can't say.

Ok...........so, its a WEATHER tracker, radio truck WHATEVER. That REALLY ISNT THE POINT!

Cant we stay to the specific's here? Whatever it is, it is a actively used military vehicle, PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL neighborhood, UNMANNED, UNSECURED, for 6 days........with no one moving it,nor planning to obviously, as it was chained to a block?>

It still doesnt add up.
It really doesnt matter what it is capable of..or meant for........what matters is WHY was it there to begin with.?

It goes against all known regulations.

And, why were the soldiers in the house?
Why did the 1-2-3-appear and leave ........
What did they pack in the HMMVE?

Why wasnt a CELL phone used IMMEDIATLY to arrest the attention of the press, for a HOT story>?
Are some of you soooooooooooo scaredy cat that you are so intimidated and afraid to make a simple phone call, as a concerned citizen, and make sure that there is follow up?

This is starting to sound like the people in NYC that just stand by and witness a murder and do nothing, because they are afraid of getting involved.......
Just think if you were the one being attacked..and measly micky mouse people stood by with their thumbs in their mouths..?

Come on people of USA........... get a back bone, practice your freedoms, OR SHUT UP when you loose them.

Hey OP glad you referenced the thread on Ham Radio. I was the one who posted that long scenario about the rock coming in on the 22nd. Positioning of the Humvees sounds about right in high places which might provide safety from the possible tsunami and at the same time keep the Gov informed about what is happening. Notice I didn't say Washington because that could be underwater.

The first pic I posted of the HMMWV was deleted. Now I am concerned.

The others are still up. The one that showed the back ID markings was deleted.

Check it out yourselves,

They wouldnt be there UNmanned for 6 days....
It would have been much more of a covert OP.....
They would NOT have gained attention......
and furthermore, they have goverment UNMARKED vehicles for such things as this....
And, they wouldnt leave anything ANYTHING unsecured.
WHAT if a little street kid decided that HEY here is some hockable stuff................

Come on folks......

I can see your not familiar with the Military, at any level.

It seems the move was more desperate in nature due to the risks you explained. Of course the military wouldn't put a HMMWV in plain sight with no active guarding on a regular day. But, if there was a situation of an immense proportion, it may easily warrant the dispatch of such multiple HMMWV's in such a way.

Its about managing risk versus benefit. In this case, what ever the reasons were, the benefits outweighed the risks.

Yeah, I noticed that too OP.

I bet he's near State College PA

Pic is gone!!!

My bet is Johnstown. The runway there was extended recently.

no prank, I promise. I had given my word prior and I will give you my word now.

I assure you this is not a prank.

As far as the license plate being blurred, that was not done per se. It is the result of the cameras resolution and focus, I guess. Those images were untouched.

I refused the address for several reasons. One being there are a few crazy people on this web site and its a general good practice to exercise safety first. I, myself, live a reasonable distance from the HMMWV location but visit that area on occasion.

I like to use big words, its my nature. I said operator because it was just a word I decided to use. Driver is also fine but in reference to other duties that would make the driver more then just a driver, it would make them the operator, i guess.

When the other camo dude showed up, I wasn't there. This was told to me by the resident living in eye shot of the vehicle. The very place I visit on occasion. And I had notified the media. I didn't make a frenzy about it but I did note it. Coincidentally, the HMMWV was moved 30-60 minutes after the media was notified. No further notification from the media was seen and no other news reported either. Just media silence.

Sir/ma'am, you have more word. This is/was a real event.

As far as the pic being deleted/removed, I checked my photobucket acct. It is confirmed, it is gone.

That alone makes me worry. Obviously there was an active response by someone somewhere. Or photobucket realized there was identification being posted that is not allowed. It could be a photobucket regulation. Hopefully that is the case.

If not, someone wasn't happy with that picture being posted.

Just repost the picture.....
And, ask the mod's HOW it got deleted.
