>>6120265>Are we detecting anything on civilian Radio and Television waves? Maybe we can tune into a radio news transmission or even HAM radios to see what they are saying and compare it to the official statement from the Navy. If we can not multitask like that maybe we can record such data for later comparison.There's plenty of normal civilian radio going around, music and news and so on, just not a lot of air traffic - I probably should have made that distinction clear. Hawaii apparently isn't a tourist hotspot at the moment.
>I know we can wirelessly and emissionlessly control our jets and get readings on it- dose that extend to having them ‘’relay’’ transmissions to our intelligence sweep to have our off-duty sprites go over them for analysis?You can see and hear what your planes do from at least 2,000 miles away, but you're limited to the instruments onboard whatever that craft is whenever it's out of radio range of the rest of your aircraft. The S-3s are general-purpose scouting platforms for surface recon, ASW, and SIGINT and so so have some decent signals processing equipment, but to send that to your intel fairies you would have do so directly, which is only modestly better than telling them in words. You could say "I see a ship at position X," but you would need to describe the ship well enough for them to draw a picture rather than transmitting the raw data from the plane's sensors. Additionally, fairies can talk to each other telepathically while within you, but once outside need comms equipment.
