China's Secret Space Plane Tracked by Mysterious Wingmen in Orbit
TL;DR
China's secret space plane, similar to the US military's X-37B, has been emitting strong signals to the ground while passing over North America, according to satellite tracker Scott Tilley. The emissions, detected at a frequency of 2280 megahertz, suggest the presence of a hidden ground station or a ship near North America's west coast. Tilley speculates that there may be a clandestine ground station or ship off the coast. The Chinese space plane, on its third mission, has been closely monitored by satellite trackers worldwide. The purpose of the emissions and the satellite duo released by the plane remain unknown.
