Mystery fleet of US Air Force tankers crossing Atlantic stirs echoes of Iran strike ahead of secret military meeting

Flight trackers have spotted a fleet of US air tankers crossing the Atlantic just as Donald Trump prepares to meet with generals and admirals on Tuesday.

Around a dozen KC-135R/T Stratotankers were making the journey on Sunday night, with several en route to RAF Mildenhall – a major Air Force base in England, open-source intelligence (OSINT) accounts reported on X.

The presence of air tankers can indicate that the US or Nato is addressing an urgent military requirement for fighter jet refueling capacity.  

The deployment carries ominous weight, according to three Defense Department sources – two former, one current – who spoke to the Daily Mail on condition of anonymity.

The last time the US moved tankers in comparable numbers was five days before American warplanes struck Iran‘s nuclear facilities. Trump is meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday.

The movement of the Stratotankers comes as Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are preparing to hold a shadowy meeting of the nation’s top military leaders at Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday.

The unprecedented meeting, first reported by the Washington Post last week, has raised alarm. Hundreds of generals and admirals, including those in active conflict zones, have been summoned from around the world – with no details of what will be discussed at the summit. 

Behnam Taleblu, senior director of the Iran program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, tells the Daily Mail, while ‘correlation is not causation’, he can’t help but think of the last time there was a mass tanker deployment by the United States.

House Intel inquiry sent criminal referral to DOJ on strange health incidents on Havana Syndrome

The GOP-led House Intelligence Committee sent criminal referrals to the Trump Justice Department earlier in September related to the congressional panel’s scrutiny of the federal government’s alleged mishandling of the mystery behind the so-called “Havana Syndrome” — officially termed anomalous health incidents (AHIs).

A spokesperson for the GOP-led House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) who declined to be named due to the sensitivities surrounding the HPSCI investigation, told Just the News over the weekend that the committee’s ongoing inquiry into AHIs has scrutinized the response by the U.S. intelligence community (IC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and has identified a number of potentially illegal actions — which were referred to the Justice Department earlier this month. The spokesperson did not identify the exact target of the criminal referral.

The U.S. government has been investigating the unusual symptoms reported among its personnel serving abroad. If a foreign adversary is behind the AHIs, speculation has centered on Russia, China, and Cuba as possible culprits. Symptoms tied to alleged AHIs have included sound or pressure in one ear or on one side of the head and nearly simultaneous signs such as vertigo, the loss of balance, headaches, and ear pain.

Intelligence community questioned by lawmakers

The HPSCI spokesperson said additional criminal referrals might still be sent to the DOJ, particularly related to HPSCI’s review of the IC’s potential obstruction of the House committee’s inquiry into Havana Syndrome.

The House Intelligence CIA Subcommittee released an unclassified interim report in December 2024 arguing that a foreign foe might be behind AHIs and that leaders of U.S. spy agencies had wrongly dismissed this hypothesis. The subcommittee was chaired by Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., who now chairs the full intelligence committee. The December report seemed to jolt Biden intelligence community leaders into opening the door to the chance that a foreign foe could indeed be behind the AHIs.

“Since joining the House Intelligence Committee in 2017, investigating reported Anomalous Health Incidents impacting our intelligence officers, service members, and diplomats stationed around the world has been a top priority of mine personally and remains one of my top priorities as Chairman,” Crawford told Just the News in a statement this weekend. “As I have said before, the Biden administration’s IC was wrong in its intelligence assessment on AHIs, and we are working to set the record straight. The IC generated and utilized the NIH study’s invalid results to prop up the highly flawed 2023 intelligence community assessment.”

Crawford continued: “Among the many issues involved, the withholding of medical care to force participation in this human subject research study, as directed by personnel in the IC, betrayed those desperately seeking help. We will deliver the truth these victims and the American people deserve after being gaslit by the intelligence community for so long.”

Massive Drone Attack SHUTS DOWN Major Airport

Copenhagen Airport, Scandinavia’s largest aviation hub, suspended all outgoing flights and diverted incoming traffic after multiple large drones appeared near the facility at 8:46 p.m. on September 22.

The unprecedented shutdown lasted nearly four hours, with operations resuming only at 12:30 a.m. the following day.

Norwegian authorities arrested two foreign nationals for similar drone activity near Oslo Airport’s military installations within 24 minutes of the Copenhagen incident, suggesting coordinated timing that should alarm every American concerned about infrastructure security.

Danish police Chief Superintendent Jens Jespersen characterized the unknown operator as a “capable actor” whose technical proficiency far exceeded typical drone hobbyists.

The sophisticated nature of the operation, involving multiple large drones operating simultaneously near restricted airspace, demonstrates the kind of advanced planning and execution that intelligence agencies associate with state-sponsored activities.

This level of capability represents exactly the type of hybrid warfare tactics that threaten Western democracies and critical infrastructure nationwide.

Military aircraft ‘incident’ under investigation near Area 51 outside Las Vegas

The U.S. Air Force is investigating an incident involving a military aircraft near Area 51 north of Las Vegas, the 8 News Now Investigators have learned.

The “incident” concerns an aircraft from Creech Air Force Base, which is located about 40 miles northeast of the Las Vegas valley. Staff at the base administer and pilot military drones.

No one was hurt and no property was damaged in the incident, according to a base spokesperson, who did not provide further information.

On Tuesday, Sept. 23, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a temporary flight restriction (TFR) for a five-nautical-mile area east of Area 51, the classified Air Force facility near Groom Lake. The TFR cites “national security” as the reason for the restriction near Highway 375.

The TFR warned pilots not to fly in the area unless the FAA authorizes them. The restrictions were scheduled to expire on Oct. 1.

MSM Says It Knows What Hegseth’s Mystery Meeting Of Hundreds Of Generals Is All About

The Washington Post and CNN say they know what Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth’s big summoning of hundreds of military generals and admirals is all about. The meeting is set for Tuesday at Quantico Marine Base near Washington D.C. 

No official explanation has yet to be given for why some 800 top commanders are being gathered – some traveling from bases across the globe. Speculation has abounded, including whether it could relate to going to war with Russia, or some other dire and alarming change in force posture. Major media outlets in the US are now claiming it will merely be a big talk by Hegseth in maintaining “warrior ethos” and things like professional standards. It’s also being reported as one big “rally the troops” meeting.

Apparently this somewhat unprecedented gathering is due to his “mounting impatience that the Pentagon hasn’t readily adopted the Trump administration’s directives on military culture, according to officials briefed on the plan.”

The speech will aim to get everyone on the same page in terms of Trump’s desire to tighten up discipline and professional standards across military ranks. So far, President Trump has only said when asked about the somewhat unprecedented meeting by reporters, “It’s great when generals and top people want to come to the United States to be with a now-called secretary of war.”

The Washington Post states:

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel from around the world to hear him make a short speech on military standards and the “warrior ethos,” multiple people familiar with the event told The Washington Post.

Commenting on the swift pushback, it continues:

Some Pentagon officials questioned the wisdom of launching a relatively large gathering on short notice to hear Hegseth speak for a matter of minutes, and bristled at the idea that long-serving military leaders — a segment of whom spent years in combat earlier in their careers — needed instruction on how to fight.

“They don’t need a talk from Secretary Hegseth on the warrior ethos,” a defense official said.

A high profile retired general has spoken up on social media, and Hegseth bat it down…

War Secretary’s Emergency Meeting A Mystery To Hundreds Of Top Officers Ordered To Attend

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has summoned hundreds of generals and admirals to an urgent meeting in Virginia next week, but the reason is unknown to many who have been ordered to attend, The War Zone has learned.

Many of these high-ranking officers have been in contact with each other to find out why Hegseth has ordered such an unprecedented gathering that will upend the schedules of hundreds of them, a U.S. official told The War Zone.

“They know about this through scheduling, but they have no idea what this is all about,” the official added. “It is something everyone is wondering. There is no indication of what the topic is.”

The Pentagon confirmed the meeting but provided no details.

“The Secretary of War will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement.

The meeting, first reported by The Washington Post, comes as Hegseth is looking to trim the ranks of the military’s top commanders and reduce the number of headquarters.

“The directive was issued earlier this week…months after Hegseth’s team at the Pentagon announced plans to undertake a sweeping consolidation of top military commands, according to The Post.

Utah Rancher Enlists Paranormal Investigators in Cattle Mutilation Case

A Utah rancher who lost one of his bulls to a cattle mutilation earlier this summer enlisted paranormal researchers and other experts to look at the curious case, and their collective findings were rather remarkable. Paul Martinez discovered the downed animal on his property back in July, and the incident made headlines in late August. Speaking to a local media outlet last week, the rancher revealed several intriguing details about the case that came to light throughout the summer when he allowed an array of intrigued individuals to examine the animal and the scene of the strange slaying.

The first such weird insight came to light around 10 weeks after the incident, when livestock investigator Rob Wilcox used a metal detector on the downed bull, which remained where it had been killed. Strangely, he noted, something about the creature’s carcass or the land around it activated the device. Even stranger was that, following his visit to the site, the metal detector stopped functioning. Meanwhile, paranormal investigator Ryan Burns, who was also brought on to study the situation, recounted how the land around the downed bull was particularly peculiar in that it was “like walking on memory foam,” which only held tracks for “about an hour” before they “just disappeared.”

Another interested party invited to visit the ranch was Dustin Eskelsen, who serves as the director of the Mutual UFO Network’s Utah branch. He extracted soil samples from the location of the mutilation as well as 25 feet away and sent them off to a lab for testing. While the results were fairly routine, a significant difference in sulfur levels stood out as being unusual to Eskelsen. Similar tests done by Utah’s Department of Agriculture found contrasting calcium and iron levels between the target area and a control area.

Martinez’s rigorous attempt at figuring out what happened to his bull extended even further as he also turned to Johnny Alberto Gamiochippi, of the Northern Ute Tribe, who posited that something could have disturbed ancient spirits at the site. To that end, the pair pointed to a bizarre incident that occurred a few weeks before the cattle mutilation in which an intoxicated man escaped from police custody and wound up on Martinez’s ranch, where he stole his ATV and led police on a wild chase. “He might have been possessed by some demons,” Gamiochippi mused, suggesting that the sinister spirits then somehow turned their attention to the unfortunate bull.

A Fingerprint Taken From Stonehenge Changes Everything We Know About Its Mystical Origins

Stonehenge offers mysteries aplenty. Just when we think we’ve solved one, we have to re-solve questions we thought were already answered. Such is the case with the origin story of the Altar Stone—one of the roughly 80-plus stones still on site in southern England.

The stones of Stonehenge feature a variety of compositions and originate from a number of potential source locations. Scholars previously believed that they knew most of what there was to be known about the Altar Stone—the largest of the non-sarsen stones on site, which is now partially buried beneath two fallen stones. But researchers led by a team from Curtin University may have upended that history, writing that a stone long believed to originate from Wales actually hails from Scotland.

By studying the age and chemistry of mineral grains within fragments of the six-ton Alter Stone—a thick sandstone block measuring 16 feet by 3 feet in the center of the iconic Wiltshire circle—the team crafted a chemical fingerprint of the stone. That chemical composition matched that of rocks from northeast Scotland, and clearly differentiated it from Welsh bedrock.

“Our analysis found specific mineral grains in the Altar Stone are mostly between 1,000 to 2,000 million years old, while other minerals are around 450 million years old,” Anthony Clarke, lead author and Ph.D. student from the Timescales of Mineral Systems Group at Curtin’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, said in a statement. “This provides a distinct chemical fingerprint suggesting the stone came from rocks in the Orcadian Basin, Scotland, at least 750 kilometers [466 miles] away from Stonehenge.”

According to English Heritage, the Altar Stone is a large slab of greenish Old Red Sandstone. Recent geological research had pinpointed the source of the stone to the Brecon Beacons area of southeast Wales. But the study, which was published in the journal Nature, discounts that reigning theory.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

The best mathematical breakdown of the “Man of Steel” theory I have seen

Earlier tonight, I brought you the stunning report that Charlie Kirk had no exit wound because he had “super bones”.

(Article by Noah republished from WLTReport.com)

That a rough paraphrase, but the full report was here in case you missed it:

“Man of Steel”: Coroner Says No Exit Wound Because Bullet Stopped By Charlie Kirk’s Incredibly “Healthy and Dense” Bones

Now I want to advance the story because this is the best analysis I have seen so far.

All credit to Mike Adams for this one, who I believe addressed this very respectfully but also scientifically and mathematically.

Here is Mike’s analysis of the “Superman” claims:

NARRATIVE-BUSTING FACTS: A .30-06 rifle round produces around 3,000+ foot-pounds of energy when fired. (With some loads, it’s even higher.)

This amount of energy can lift a 3,000-lb. object one foot high (hence the name of the unit).

The diameter of a .30-06 Springfield bullet…

NARRATIVE-BUSTING FACTS: A .30-06 rifle round produces around 3,000+ foot-pounds of energy when fired. (With some loads, it’s even higher.)

This amount of energy can lift a 3,000-lb. object one foot high (hence the name of the unit).

The diameter of a .30-06 Springfield bullet is .308 inches (7.82 mm).

This means the actual area of the skin that is struck by the bullet is 0.0745 square inches (pi formula, remember?).

So a .30-06 rifle round delivers 3,000 foot-pounds of energy (or slightly less, as it slows very slightly after leaving the barrel) to an area of human skin that is 0.0745 square inches in total area, which is about the diameter of your pinky finger.

There is no bone in the human body that can survive 3,000 foot-pounds of energy directed into such a small area. Only Wolverine could survive it, but he’s not real.

Anyone who thinks that neck skin, tissue or even bones can stop and absorb such a large amount of energy moving through such a tiny area of tissue is truly delusional. Yet this is now what we’re being told by the same people who claim we should also believe the lone shooter theory.

IMPORTANT: If his neck absorbed 3,000 foot-pounds of energy, the energy had to have gone somewhere. Newton’s laws of motion, duh. High school science. Where did the energy go? Kinetic energy doesn’t just vanish because you wish it away. Low-IQ narrative swallowers failed high school physics.

3,000 foot-pounds of energy is enough to hurl a person the size of Charlie 15 feet into the air, assuming the pressure were applied evenly across his entire body (and assuming he weighed around 200 pounds).

That didn’t happen. The energy vanished. And we’re told his neck stopped 3,000 foot-pounds of energy because Charlie was “healthy.”

There are no doubt a whole bunch of orthopedic surgeons losing their s–t over this claim right now. They know what bones can sustain… and what they can’t. No human neck stops a .30-06 round and absorbs all its energy with no exit wound. Never happened, never will. The physics and anatomy make it impossible. Nobody is Wolverine, and Charlie isn’t Superman (with all due apologies for mixing DC and Marvel universes).

The math ain’t mathin, in other words.

As I said, very respectful and very well-reasoned analysis.
