Up to 60km in ideal conditions

Still not great odds in that vast space

No wonder they found it (still no tangible evidence provided) because it looks like the Dutch Airforce already found it!!!

A coincidence like this is almost as a rare as the military having a drill about 911 scenario on the same day that the real thing happened...

Two F-16s intercepted freighter

From the Brabant Volkel airbase, two F-16s took off to intercept. A freighter

It turned out this was a cargo plane, a Boeing 777F LAN Cargo, which was en route to the airport. The unit flew from Miami in Dutch airspace and they could not connect to the device.

A spokesman for the Coordinator for Counterterrorism and Security unit had previously requested permission for the flight. That is because of the nuclear security summit in The Hague is mandatory.

The jets have the cargo plane accompanied this had left. Dutch airspace The unit flew independently to the airport in Frankfurt, Germany.

The early 80's were so much better - just blame Aliens for everything.

This whole saga shows how fragile world harmony is ... tension and high flashpoints are everywhere ... not a good look IMHO!

Here is a photo you won't see very often (not everyone is in the picture)
but Aust, NZ, US, Chinese, South Korean and Japanese military personnel all
in the same room and working together.

The guy speaking is Australia's defense minister, the Chinese are in Blueish Camo
and the guy in the suit.
