Cobra Mist

Postby Observer » Fri Feb 15, 2008 1:46 pm

The Cobra Mist radar instellation on Orfordness was designed as an Over the Horizon early warning system. The '4' ninute warning at that time was deemed much to short and all bases in the East of England plus the civilian population needed a greater time span. Cobra Mist was more for the early detection of Soviet aircraft heading West towards the UK and ICBM's were its secondary role. [Read all the web sites on this system].

Although the excuse for winding it up in the 70's was because it didn't work that well there is a conspricy theory that it got up the Russians noses so much that they started in some way to jam it. One con theory was that it was being jammed from out side the 12 mile limit by a Soviet ship or submarine.

There was also unsubstanciated reports that all these different beams floating about in the area especially from Cobra Mist that it was affecting local car ignition systems and local television reception.

My old buddie who was a Police radio surveillance expert suggested that there could have been extraneous RF/EMP from Cobra Mist causing havoc locally and it could not be filtered out so that is one reason for its demise. The other was the Russian jamming.

Thanks Wolf
I have read this before, It is my belief that some of the blanked out sections of this report refer to a possible Soviet jamming or counter measure progrmme.

If Cobra Mist was still in operation in 1980, we may well have some thing to get our teeth into re Rendlesham, but it was decommisioned in 73.

David Icke is a believer in extra terrestrials that are already living on earth but are disguised as reptiles, you name it. Don't go there.

This make believe does not belong on this forum.

Alex Jones is the guy who runs with the one world government over here. I have heard David Ike on Coast to Coast over here just wondering what he had to do with this case?

Hi silvertop

Good stuff, but it does not answer all your questions.

If it's of any use, the whole instellation had been dismantled and removed by 1977/8 as it was deemed a failure. Apparently, there was some back ground 'noise' interference they were unable to trace.
They got all the brains at the time to try and cure the problem but were unable to rid it of this noise so they gave up and dumped it.

Don't think Cobra Mist is the answer to our mystery.
