[MilCom] MIL: 11175.0 USB - ALLSTATE; BINOCULAR; FORTNIGHT; and NIGHTLONG

0157z 13 Dec 25

UTC 12 Nov 25

This was a very active NCS message traffic day.
IMO there may be a subtle anomaly contained within the sequential 1346z and
1401z strings.

########Anomaly########
[It's subtle and perhaps very rare. It's only 2 sequential strings (thus an
"anomaly" when compared to its companions) in a series that does not
manifest repeatable placement patterns between the 30 character fixed
format set within the P2 series. It catches the eye as if it were a pulsing
strobe light.]
