CIA Whistleblower Suggests Drones Searching for Missing ‘Suitcase’ Nuke

Former CIA agent and whistleblower Kevin Shipp suggested Wednesday that the mysterious drones flying over New Jersey and Virginia could be part of a government program in order to search for radiation spikes in different states.

“My concern is that these are radiation-detecting drones under a covert CIA plausible deniability program that are searching for radiation spikes,” Shipp said on the John Solomon Reports podcast.

“These drones are focusing, and if they’re sniffing for radiation, my big concern, and I knew this when I was in the Counter Terrorism Center, there are at least four suitcase-size nuclear weapons that disappeared with the fall of the Soviet Union and went on to the black market,” he added. “My concern is that these are radiation-detecting drones under a covert CIA plausible-deniability program, that are searching for radiation spikes. And they’re worried that this could be one of these suitcase devices.”

Shipp explained that the CIA has a sophisticated drone program that uses CBRNE, or Chemical, Biological, Radio, Nuclear Explosive, detectors to pick up signs of high radiation in the event of a pending attack.

“We have to ask about the cities and states where these drones are over,” he said. “What is there? What could be the target? Why are they over a lot of these DOD [Department of Defense] military bases?”

The Federal Aviation Administration last week issued two flight restrictions on the area surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf club in New Jersey, following questionable drone activity. The drone sightings were first reported on Nov. 18.

Federal officials have claimed they do not know much about the drones, but have assured the public that there has been no threat to the American people as a result of the activity. The Pentagon also said officials have not found any evidence that a foreign entity is behind it.

Shipp criticized the Pentagon for its response to the drones, asserting that defense officials are lying to the American public about them.

Biden’s Three Weasel Circus Enables Drone Chaos

The three most vacuous and misleading personalities of the Biden Team are now mad at the American People for not accepting their explanations of what is going on in the National Airspace System (NAS).

When Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor, Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and John Kirby, the Spokesman for the National Security Council get together, at best, nothing happens – or worse, nothing good happens.

There are other minions involved in this public affairs fiasco beyond these three, but these three are the poster children for U.S. Government mis, dis, and mal information.

After the debacle of the Chinese Spy Balloon in 2023 they have an enormous credibility gap and are only resurrecting this lack of trust with the current drone chaos.

The discombobulated explanations coming out of these three changes almost hourly.  “Give states the power to shoot down drones”, It’s the FAA’s fault for recent flight rule changes, Nothing indicates a Public Safety Risk, and there is no Iranian involvement.  

Yet from December 2023 over Virginia Beach to the United Kingdom to multiple regions and military installations in the U.S. the drone swarms continue.

Biden Team has failed to establish clear roles and missions for domestic counter-drone operations

Kratos Conducts First Test Of Mysterious Stealth Drone

Aviation Week revealed that US-based Kratos Defense successfully tested its Thanatos stealth Uncrewed Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) prototype within the last few months.

Steve Fendley, president of Kratos’ Unmanned Systems Division, told the aviation news website that the company’s Thanatos stealth UCAV was successfully tested in recent months. However, he declined to provide specifics about the test or its location.

“Kratos unveiled the Thanatos design in November 2023 when company CEO Eric Demarco said in an earnings report that the company hoped to have a contract within a year. The design shows what appears to be a single-engine UCAV with two inlets and a single exhaust,” Aviation Week said, adding, “The aircraft does not have a vertical tail and horizontal stabilizers, showing the company’s stealth approach.”

On Dec. 7, during an interview at the Reagan National Defense Forum at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, Fendley said: “The air vehicle for Thanatos is now effectively proven. We’re not trying to figure out does the airplane fly, we’re now trying to figure out does the integrated system tick the mission box.”

UFO whistleblower slams ‘contradictory’ answers from US officials on troubling drone mystery as conspiracy theories grow

THE United States government has been accused of leading the public astray as the New Jersey drone mystery continues to leave people dumbfounded.

Worried Americans are still searching for answers after the number of unusual sightings in the sky increased in several states, most notably New Jersey.

Officials claim people could be seeing civilian aircraft, government, military, or drones used by any of the one million registered users in the US.

MOUNTING FEARS

The Pentagon has stressed that they are not dangerous while suggesting there is no evidence to suggest the drones belong to another country.

However, NJ officials are demanding answers, and confusion is deepening as public trust in the government agencies tasked with solving the mystery continues to erode.

State Senator Jon Bramnick wants the Department of Defense to “come clean” and tell everyone what’s happening.

Rep. Michael McCaul Says Drones Seen Flying Over US Military Sites are ‘Adversarial’ and Likely Coming from Communist China

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-Texas) has raised alarms over unidentified drones observed near U.S. military installations, suggesting they may be adversarial and likely of Chinese origin.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of America’s most vital military installations, faced an unsettling breach of its airspace over the weekend, reigniting concerns about the security of critical U.S. defense facilities.

Mysterious drones buzzed over the Ohio base, forcing the temporary closure of its Class Delta airspace late Friday night and into Saturday morning.

According to base spokesman Bob Purtiman, the origin of the drones remains unidentified, and their intentions are officially deemed “not malicious.”

“I can confirm small aerial systems were spotted over Wright Patterson between Friday night and Saturday morning,” base spokesman Bob Purtiman told The War Zone on Sunday.

“Today leaders have determined that they did not impact base residents, facilities, or assets. The Air Force is taking all appropriate measures to safeguard our installations and residents,” he added.

Interactive map reveals mystery drone hotspots as FBI issues warning

An interactive map has revealed hundreds of sightings of mysterious drones and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) throughout the Northeast. 

Since mid-November, the region has been plagued by an ongoing, unexplained drone ‘invasion.’ The unidentified aircraft have been reported in multiple states, prompting a federal investigation that has yet to yield any answers. 

‘FBI has received tips of more than 5,000 reported drone sightings in the last few weeks with approximately 100 leads generated,’ according to a joint statement from the agency and several other federal bureaus released Tuesday.

The map, created by the commercial UFO sightings alert network Enigma Labs, compiles reports from residents of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and other states made during November and December. 

US Coast Guard licensed captain and New Jersey resident Paul Sprieser, 56, is one of many whose eyewitness reports were included in the map. 

He does not believe all the sightings can be explained by commercial aircraft or other sanctioned activities, as federal officials have suggested. 

‘There’s a large percentage of them that are not commercial aircraft, like these stationary objects in the sky that are the size of an SUV that are just hanging out there for five or six hours, or seven hours,’ Sprieser told DailyMail.com. 

State and local officials are echoing the concerns of their residents, demanding answers from the federal government as this bizarre phenomenon appears to be spreading into new areas.

Nancy Mace says mysterious drones could be from ‘outer space’

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) said in a podcast interview that the public should not rule out “outer space” as a possible origin of some of the drones sighted recently in the Northeast.

In an interview on “OutKick” recorded Monday, Mace expressed skepticism in some of the government’s efforts to reassure the public that they face no safety risk related to the drone sightings. She insisted that some pilots have said they cannot explain some of what is depicted in videos of the sky circulating on social media.

“My concern is, if it’s not craft from outer space — because I think that has to be on the table. That has to be an option — is it our technology? Or is it Russia or Iran or China? Is there someone who’s winning the arms race, and are we behind?”

“Because my question is about national security, and I hope that it’s us,” she continued. “I hope that it’s not our adversaries or something from outside the universe, because I have real concerns that, like, if these drones are from Iran or China, like some of the rumors have been, I pray that they’re ours, but we should also know why they’re out there. Like, are they looking for radiation? Are they looking for a missing nuclear warhead?”

Mace said congressional offices have gotten calls from constituents with real concerns about the uptick in drone sightings.

“We deserve to have some answers here, because people are scared, and a lot of congressional offices are hearing people, they’re writing in with their concerns when they’re seeing these drones,” Mace said. “And quite frankly, I mean, Congress needs answers and the [Defense Department], the Pentagon, needs to come and tell us the truth.”

Federal law enforcement officials have said publicly that the recent uptick in reports of drone sightings does not suggest any increased risk to public safety.

Startling image of mystery drone over US air base in UK revealed as bombshell report claims FBI has known about swarms over military sites for a year

Unauthorized drones have been zipping across US military bases at speeds of up to 170mph, easily dodging radar and signal-jamming systems.

But contrary to the non-answers intelligence officials have been dishing out as New Jersey residents panic about ‘car-sized’ drones flying over their homes for the past month, the government has been aware of this threat for over a year, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Exclusively obtained images show one craft photographed by specialist military units over a US airbase in England last month. DailyMail.com also obtained excerpts from a joint US Air Force, NASA and FBI report on previous airbase incursions, and an account from a senior officer briefed on the incidents. 

This news follows repeated widespread sightings of drones near military bases in New Jersey and other states over the past month.

And a public outcry over the swarms prompted a stunning admission from FBI chiefs to Congress – they don’t know where these craft are coming from.

DailyMail.com obtained an internal government report showing federal agencies knew about incursions from apparent advanced drones over a year ago but have failed to put a stop to them.

Langley Air Force Base in Virginia was swarmed with dozens of drones for weeks in December 2023, creating a security panic. The incident was kept secret until it was revealed by defense magazine The Warzone in March this year.

A report authored by the Air Force, FBI and NASA – which has a facility next to Langley air base – said that their ‘detection equipment’ and ‘signal jamming’ had ‘failed’, in a presentation slide titled ‘lessons learned,’ DailyMail.com can reveal.

Drone Fears Cause New Problem: People Shining Lasers At Manned Aircraft

Federal law enforcement officials warned the public on Monday to not shine high-powered lasers at flying objects at night as the public increasingly looks for drone activity following recent media reporting.

FBI Newark and New Jersey State Police said that there has been “an increase in pilots of manned aircraft being hit in the eyes with lasers because people on the ground think they see an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).”

Authorities also said that there has been increased concerns about people firing weapons at what they believe are UAS but, in reality, are manned aircraft.

“There could be dangerous and possibly deadly consequences if manned aircraft are targeted mistakenly as UAS,” the statement said.

“To improve accuracy and prevent false sightings, a variety of tools and techniques can be used to assist with the visual identification of suspected UAS,” the statement said. “Accurate identification is critical for maintaining safety and ensuring appropriate responses to UAS activity.”

White House Official Claims Drone Activity is “Legal” and “Lawful”

White House official John Kirby insisted that the wave of drone sightings across the United States represent “legal” and “lawful” activity, despite in some instances them shutting down military bases and airports.

Kirby made the comments during an appearance on Fox News with Brett Baier.

With the government having analyzed at least 5,000 sightings, Kirby said, “Our assessment is that this is lawful, legal, commercial, hobbyist, and even law enforcement aircraft activity.”

“Some of it’s manned, some of it’s unmanned,” he added.

“We absolutely acknowledge that a lot of these are probably drones, but they’re flying legally,” Kirby emphasized.
