Eyewitness video of mysterious craft hovering over El Paso upends Trump administration ‘party balloon’ claims

Claims that US airspace was shut down because of a party balloon have been popped by new video appearing to show a large, hovering UFO over El Paso, Texas.

An eyewitness driving near El Paso International Airport on Tuesday pulled over to record what they described as a mothership floating above the ground in the distance, which was releasing smaller objects from its underside.

The sighting, shared with crowdsourced UFO-reporting platform Enigma, occurred just hours before a large swath of US airspace was abruptly closed for ‘special security reasons’ at 11.30pm MT on February 10.

The mysterious shut down was originally announced to last for ten days and included all commercial, cargo, and general flights within a ten-mile-wide area roughly five miles southwest of El Paso, from the ground up to 18,000 feet.

However, the chaotic shut down by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was quickly called off, with the Trump Administration changing the story of what triggered the alert multiple times within a matter of hours on Wednesday.

White House officials initially announced the US had taken down a Mexican cartel drone flying across the southern border, only to claim hours later that the object struck by a high-powered laser was a party balloon.

Now, UFO researchers and witnesses in the area have alleged that something other than a balloon or drone was spotted on multiple days near the US-Mexico border before the FAA warning.

‘Looks like the mothership. It’s huge. And there are stuff coming out from the bottom of it and going off to the left a little bit as it landed,’ the driver on Tuesday said.

Kurt Cobain’s Death Labeled ‘Homicide’ by Independent Investigators, Police Not Reopening the Case

Kurt Cobain’s death is one of the most tragic losses the music world has ever suffered. The Nirvana frontman died more than 30 years ago, from a self-inflicted shotgun wound at his home in Seattle, Washington.

But now, a group of independent researchers claims that they have gathered enough evidence to prove Cobain’s death was a homicide. This certainly isn’t a new idea, as conspiracy theorists have speculated as such for years.

The Daily Mail reports that an “unofficial private sector team of forensic scientists” has undertaken a new investigation. They have researched Cobain’s autopsy results, as well as the crime scene materials. They also brought in a specialist named Brian Burnett. He’s previously assisted with investigations involving gunshot trauma that have been preceded by drug overdose.

Independent researcher Michelle Wilkins told Daily Mail that after three days of looking over the reports and evidence, Burnett said, “This is a homicide. We’ve got to do something about this.” Wilkins went on to detail what the team believes happened. She said that the signs around Cobain’s death are not consistent with an “instantaneous” gunshot.

The independent researchers believe that one or more assailants confronted Cobain and forced an overdose of heroin into his body. This was to incapacitate him. He was then shot in the head, and the gun was placed in his arms. Finally, the assailants left behind a fake suicide note to throw anyone off the trail.

‘Hit Squad’: The Dawn Sturgess Inquiry Coverup

On December 4th, a long-running Inquiry into the mysterious July 2018 death of Dawn Sturgess delivered its final report. To the surprise of surely no one, it concluded Sturgess was contaminated with Novichok as a result of the attempted assassination of GRU defector Sergei Skripal in Salisbury by Russian intelligence operatives, directed by Vladimir Putin, four months earlier. While the mainstream media unquestioningly accepted the findings as unchallengeable gospel, evidence heard and produced throughout the Inquiry raised considerably more questions than it provided answers.

Sturgess’ death, many miles away from Salisbury, was a puzzling coda to the already enigmatic poisonings of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in March 2018. She is the only person in history known to have died from coming into contact with Novichok, despite the substance being the most lethal nerve agent known to man, and Russian intelligence repeatedly using it to strike targets – purportedly. Her boyfriend Charlie Rowley allegedly gifted her a bottle of Novichok disguised as perfume, which he found – when and where, he seemingly doesn’t know.

Despite apparently spraying the substance on his hands, then wiping it on his jeans, Rowley didn’t die. He was hospitalised unconscious on June 30th 2018, hours after Sturgess collapsed, having unwittingly contaminated herself with Novichok. Or so British authorities would have us believe. Rowley awoke on July 10th, two days after Sturgess’ death. Inexplicably, he was one of many absolutely key witnesses the Inquiry neglected to call to testify. Then again, the process was a flagrant whitewash farce from start to finish.

Under English law, a coroner’s inquest should typically be completed within six to nine months of an individual’s passing. However, as independent journalist John Helmer has extensively documented, British authorities were suspiciously resistant to convening one for Sturgess. It was only after intense legal battles between Sturgess’ family and the government that an Inquiry was instituted. Unlike inquests, which have sweeping legal powers, inquiries are little more than flaccid public relations exercises. Those interviewed and evidence considered was strictly limited, by state decree.

This fudge conveniently prevented British intelligence agencies from scrutiny – an astonishing shortfall, given much of the Inquiry focused on the supposed link between the poisonings of the Skripals and Sturgess’ death. Inquiry chief Anthony Hughes, a former Supreme Court judge, concluded the Skripals’ alleged GRU assassins, Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, “brought with them to Salisbury” Novichok secreted in a perfume bottle. He added, “it was probably [emphasis added] this bottle that they used to apply poison to the door handle of Sergei Skripal’s house”.

Appeals Court Throws Out Plea Deal for 9/11 Mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad

In 2024, The Gateway Pundit reported that then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced the revocation of a plea deal previously reached with Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, the alleged mastermind behind the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, along with two of his co-conspirators, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

This decision effectively reinstated the possibility of the death penalty for the trio.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the plea deal, reached between the Convening Authority for Military Commissions and the defendants and signed by retired Brig. Gen. Susan K. Escallier, was intended to ‘mitigate’ the legal repercussions for the accused while allowing them to avoid capital punishment.

On Friday, a federal appeals court upheld Austin’s decision to undo the plea deal.

Fox News reports:

A divided federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., on Friday tossed out an agreement that would have allowed 9/11 terror mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to plead guilty in another failed effort to end a years-long legal saga surrounding the military prosecution of men held at Guantánamo Bay.

The 2-1 D.C. Circuit appeals court decision upheld then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s decision to undo the plea deal approved by military lawyers and senior Pentagon staff.

The deal would have carried life without parole sentences for Mohammed and two co-defendants, potentially taking capital punishment off the table.

The original plea deal garnered outrage from various political factions and advocacy groups who argued that any leniency shown to those involved in the 9/11 attacks undermines justice for the nearly 3,000 victims and their families.

In making his decision, Austin wrote, “I have determined that, in light of the significance of the decision to enter into pre-trial agreements with the accused in the above-referenced case, responsibility for such a decision should rest with me as the superior convening authority under the Military Commissions Act of 2009.”

“Effective immediately, I hereby withdraw your authority in the above-referenced case to enter into a pre-trial agreement and reserve such authority to myself. Effective immediately, in the exercise of my authority, I hereby withdraw from the three pre-trial agreements that you signed on July 31, 2024 in the above-referenced case,” he added.

THE GREAT HOAX IN THE SKY: AARO Report Shows Many UFO Conspiracy Theories Were Disseminated by the Pentagon To Disguise Secret Weapons Programs

The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) was created by the United States Department of Defense in 2022 to investigate the countless UFO sightings and conspiracy theories with access to classified Government documents and top personnel.

In 2024, the AARO produced an in-depth report about the phenomenon, showing that many of the most disseminated UFO theories — including the one about aliens being kept at Area 51 in Nevada — were fueled by the Pentagon.

This was done, according to the report, to provide cover for secret weapons programs.

The report was initially reviewed by the Wall Street Journal and is making the rounds throughout the MSM.

An incident reported by the AARO tells how, in the 1980s, an Air Force colonel visited a Nevada bar near the infamous Area 51 and gave the owner fabricated photos of flying saucers near the secret government base.

The New York Post reported:

“The incident renewed local fervor over UFOs, with the now-retired colonel confessing to Pentagon investigators that he was on an official mission to spread disinformation and hide the true purpose of the site, where the government was testing the first-ever stealth warplane, the F-117 Nighthawk.”

Area 51 Cover Story Raises More Questions than Answers

The US Department of Defense has released a report claiming the Pentagon ran a decades-long misinformation campaign to hide classified operations at Area 51. However, this newest confession of lying to the public begs the question: is the story of a cover-up just a bigger cover-up of something more mysterious?

According to the investigation, officials disseminated doctored UFO photographs to nearby residents starting in the 1980s. This is one of several admissions that seemingly debunk specific sightings and material proof of extraterrestrials around Area 51. One retired colonel even stated that his assigned mission was to spread conspiracy theories in order to hide the true purpose of operations at the site, yet there are still eyewitnesses who have described crafts maneuvering in ways not possible with modern technology. These sightings occurred long before and after the height of military testing, meaning it’s possible the US is taking credit for advanced technology that’s not its own.

Ironically, the government’s attempt to end the mystery may have only deepened it. Since the start of congressional hearings regarding UAP a few years ago, the public has met each round of disclosure not with relief but with renewed suspicion. Last year the Pentagon claimed there was no evidence of any cover-up, a statement they’re now contradicting. The more convoluted the official narrative becomes, the more it’s taken with a grain of salt.

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother slams FBI director for saying pedophile died by suicide: He has ‘no idea what the f—k he’s talking about’

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother is refusing to accept that his pedophile brother died by suicide — angrily attacking FBI Director Kash Patel for dismissing long-running conspiracy theories that it could have been a murder.

Patel “wasn’t there, he didn’t see the body, he didn’t see the autopsy,” Mark Epstein told the Daily Mail of his brother’s death in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

“[He has] no idea what the f—k he’s talking about,” he said of Patel dismissing the possibility that the pedophile’s death was anything but suicide.

“It would be a lot easier for me if I thought it was suicide, but there’s a long list of things that point away from it,” the younger Epstein said.

Epstein’s fiery comments come after Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino declared the sexual predator took his own life at the notorious Big Apple lockup in 2019, putting a lid on conspiracy theorists who have long claimed he was murdered.

“Listen, they have a right to their opinion,” Patel told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” about skeptics of his assessment.

Kash and Bongino losing trust over Epstein

This past weekend on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, made a stunning declaration: Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.  That was it.  Case closed.  Bongino even said he’s “seen the file,” as if that alone should convince the American people to move on.

But that’s not how this works.

I couldn’t tell if I was watching an interview or a hostage video.

The public doesn’t owe Patel and Bongino blind trust, especially not on a matter this explosive.  In fact, their appearance on Bartiromo’s show torpedoed their credibility.

Epstein wasn’t just another inmate.  He was a nexus of corruption, intelligence, and elite abuse — someone whose connections spanned elites, presidents, royalty, billionaires, and spies.  His death was either one of the most spectacular security failures in modern history — or something far darker.  And no number of official titles or vague references to secret documents should shut down public scrutiny.

Americans have good reason to be suspicious.  Epstein’s death was a hall of mirrors from the start.  There weren’t just a few oddities; there was an avalanche of contradictions and red flags.  Yet Bongino and Patel simply want you to trust what they say their eyes saw.

Nope.  Sorry.

‘I call bullsh**’: Kash Patel and Dan Bongino hammered for claiming Epstein DID kill himself and downplaying Trump assassination attempts

FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino are facing fierce criticism for asserting convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein indeed killed himself in jail, and also downplaying concerns about the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump.

As WorldNetDaily reported, Maria Bartiromo of Fox News on “Sunday Morning Futures” asked both officials why many Americans don’t buy the government assertion that Epstein committed suicide in a New York City holding facility.

“They have a right to their opinion,” Patel said, “but as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor who’s been in that prison system, who’s been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who’s been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that’s what that was.”

Bongino said: “He killed himself. I’ve seen the whole file. He killed himself.”

‘He Killed Himself’: FBI Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino Double Down on Epstein Claim

Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, whose list of clients included some of the world’s most elite, really killed himself inside his jail cell, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino said.

Speaking to Fox News Sunday Morning Futures’ Maria Bartiromo, Patel and Bongino both confirmed the deceased hedge fund manager who owned Pedophile Island died by suicide inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.

“You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don’t believe it,” Bartiromo pressed the pair.

“They have a right to their opinion,” Patel responded.

“But as someone who’s been a public defender, a prosecutor, who’s worked in that prison system and been inside segregated housing——you know a suicide when you see one. And that’s what that was,” he added.

FBI Deputy Director Bongino backed up Patel, saying, “He killed himself.”

“Again, you want me to—I’ve seen the whole file…He killed himself,” Bongino said.

The claims align with what Director Patel told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee earlier this month, including comments to Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), saying, “Senator, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the Metropolitan detention center.”
