Controversial as it may, if you're goal is to find the truth of the topics shown here, then I suggest you watch these and other videos. These crimes on the people should be unmasked, and these will continue until the American people wake up and put a stop to the evil perpetrators. The first step is to understand and have an open mind, unbelievable and ugly as it may, that this could really be happening...AMOR PATRIAE

Real life rebel pilots! Incredible photos show fighter jets zipping through narrow Star Wars Canyon


  • The U.S. military uses an area of California's Death Valley National Park nicknamed Star Wars Canyon as a training site for fighter jet pilots 
  • Photographers camp out in the area waiting for jets to speed through the narrow canyon
The area has become so popular that the National Park Service is considering making it an attraction
Silence and stillness settled over the deep, sunbaked gorge as a pair of photographers sat on a cliff, waiting.Then the rumbling started. As it grew louder, they scrambled into position.Within seconds, a thunderous roar reverberated from the steep, narrow canyon as an F-18 fighter jet streaked through it, passing beneath their feet. It came so close they could see the pilots' expressions.This deafening show that was over in a flash is a fairly common sight at Death Valley National Park, 260 miles east of Los Angeles, where U.S. and foreign militaries train pilots and test jets in the gorge nicknamed Star Wars Canyon.Photographers - some capturing images for work, others for fun - along with aviation enthusiasts and others have been traipsing to the remote 4,688-square-mile park in growing numbers to see the jets soaring below the rim of what's officially called Rainbow Canyon, near the park's western entrance.

Once she was doing technical canyoneering, hanging from a rope on a 180-foot vertical, when a jet roared over her head but below the canyon rim.

'It was a scary experience since I was holding onto the rope and not anything else.' She also felt a sense of awe.But on days when one jet passes after another, the noise gets to her.Elsewhere in the park, the jets also have made it tough when performing the living history show at Scotty's Castle, a Spanish mission-style villa reflecting early California architecture. The villa recently closed until further notice because of flood damage. But when it was open, it was 'disruptive to act like it is 1939 while two military jets are circling, pretending to be in a dogfight above your head,' Wines said.On a February day, planes careened through Star Wars Canyon 18 times. One pilot performed barrel rolls over the pass.Jets zip through the gorge at 200 to 300mph and can fly as low as 200 feet from the canyon floor. But the canyon's walls are so steep, the aircraft are still several hundred feet below the rim.

'They're aware of the following.'



Air Force unveils unmanned F-16 fighter that dodges obstacles while shooting targets mid-flight



  • The Air Force & Lockheed Martin conducted the tests at Edwards Air Force Base
  • Officials hailed the demonstration in California as a technological milestone 
  • Eventually, the Air Force wants these planes to assist human pilots in combat 



The US Air Force recently tested an F-16 fighter jet that can think and fight on its own, which officials hailed as a technological milestone. 
Not only did the F-16 plan and execute a ground strike mission independently, the experimental aircraft reacted and adapted to unforeseen obstacles along the way, military officials said. 
This advancement is part of the Air Force's larger plan to have autonomous planes act as wingmates to human pilots flying separate aircrafts in combat.

A lead aviator will control what the Air Force calls an 'open mission system', where planes of different makes and models are seamlessly connected through a network that shares information from satellites and radars, reports Business Insider
This puts some of the cognitive workload onto the AI-powered planes, so human pilots can focus on mid-air mission tactics during combat.  
The recent demonstration, a joint effort between the Air Force and Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, took place over the course of two weeks at the Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
'This demonstration is an important milestone in AFRL’s maturation of technologies needed to integrate manned and unmanned aircraft in a strike package,' said Captain Andrew Petry, autonomous flight operations engineer with the Air Force Research Laboratory.
'We’ve not only shown how an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle can perform its mission when things go as planned, but also how it will react and adapt to unforeseen obstacles along the way,' Petry said.

Not everyone is on board with these plans. Tech leaders and the UN have been critical of using autonomous weapons on the battlefield. This photo shows fighter jets flying over mountains

It was the second in a series of exercises that team human pilots with autonomous planes to test technology Lockheed Martin has developed. 
Use of autonomous weapons on the battlefield is controversial. Tech leaders have warned that warfare conducted by the technology could risk civilian casualties with little oversight and culpability for those deaths would be unclear. 
The United Nations is moving toward banning the technology to prevent a 'robotic arms race' that could threaten international stability, Stephen Goose, arms director of the Human Rights Watch told Seeker.
