The military was created to keep the people of the United States safe while also protecting the freedoms and liberties we enjoy in our country. There are 5 branches under the military as a whole and they are all under the ultimate orders of the United States President. While most of their work happens overseas, there is a large handful of things done on American soil as well.

The United States Government and military have to prepared for absolutely anything to happen at any time. They spend many hours throughout the year preparing for the worst possible things to happen at any time on any given day. There is a fleet of planes that are known as 747-E4B Nightwatch planes, designed to help officials handle these situations.

Many people have dubbed them as "Doomsday planes" basically describing their purpose but also causing some panic when they are in motion. Some people believe that if the Nightwatch planes are being used than there is some kind of imminent danger on the way. Fortunately, that's not the only reason that the military uses the Doomsday planes.

Have You Heard Of The Doomsday or Nightwatch Planes?

The official air force website says:

"In case of national emergency or destruction of ground command and control centers, the aircraft provides a highly survivable command, control and communications center to direct U.S. forces, execute emergency war orders, and coordinate actions by civil authorities."

Indiana happened to be right in the middle of the one of the flight paths for a Nightwatch plane recently. Some people were aware of the flight and began to wonder what it was about. While others are oblivious to the actions but may want to know a little bit more about this.

A YouTube video from NYPrepper shows one of the Doomsday planes with code "VCTRY02" flying across the country from Washington D.C to Illinois during the day. It's said that the most reasonable explanation behind this flight path was the transportation of an official to the air force base in Nebraska. Yes, there may be tension between the United States and other countries, but this flight is nothing to be alarmed about.
