A Report About Counting Private Planes as an Apocalypse Signal Offers Few Details

Boing Boing has published a short item titled “Apocalypse Early Warning System counts the private planes in the sky right now,” describing an apparent concept for monitoring private aircraft as a possible sign of impending catastrophe. The item suggests that, if a country were about to face a nuclear attack, wealthy and powerful people might learn about it before the general public and leave by helicopter or private jet, potentially traveling to New Zealand. It presents that scenario as the basis for watching private-plane activity. However, the supplied report does not identify who created the system, explain how it operates, provide aircraft-tracking data, or establish that unusual flight activity is actually occurring. It also does not offer evidence that private-plane movements can reliably predict a nuclear attack. For now, the “early warning system” remains a briefly described idea rather than a documented alert mechanism, according to the available material.
