Yeah I clocked this actually. Was doing some late night ATSB tracking on FlightAware and noticed the coverage gap around 11pm their time. Thought it was a glitch at first but it persisted for nearly 40 minutes which is way too long for a standard dropout.
The thing that gets me is the timing. There were reports on a couple of military forums about unusual low-frequency audio being picked up in the Mojave corridor that same night. Whether thats connected or just coincidence I genuinely dont know, but its the kind of overlap that makes you sit up straight.
Anyone with access to archived Windy.com radar data from that window should go back and have a proper look. The gap wasnt uniform either from what I could tell, it was patchy in a way that suggests selective suppression rather than a system failure. A total failure takes everything down in one go, selective gaps are a different beast entirely.
Has anyone in the US got contacts who do RF monitoring in that region? Would love to know if anything unusual was captured on the ground.
