UFO drones are surveilling America’s most sensitive military sites — and the Pentagon says it can’t stop them

Fleets of dozens of mysterious UFO drones are surveilling America’s most sensitive military sites, and the Pentagon admits it can’t do much to stop the aerial intruders, according to a new report.

Drones of unknown origin have been spotted flying over military bases in Virginia and Nevada over the past year, including the secret base for the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six commando unit and Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval port, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Federal laws, however, prohibit the military from shooting down the drones over the potential risks to troops and civilians.

Jamming their signals was also ruled out in high level White House meetings, according to the Journal — over concerns that it could interfere with 911 systems, WiFi network and commercial airliners.

The result is that the Pentagon has little recourse to halt the potential surveillance from foreign adversaries.

Former US Air Force Gen. Mark Kelly was first made aware of the drone sightings in December 2023, where officials at the Langley Air Force Base along the Virginia coast reported seeing dozens of drones flying over the base at night, according to the WSJ.

Protective Nets To Shield F-22s Eyed For Airbase Swarmed By Mystery Drones

U.S. Air Force officials at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia are looking at installing anti-drone nets to help protect F-22 Raptor stealth fighters on the flightline. This comes nearly a year after the base was subjected to waves of still-mysterious drone incursions, which The War Zone was first to report. It also underscores the U.S. military’s continued lag when it comes to responding to the very real threats posed by uncrewed aerial systems, at home and aboard, and particular hurdles to doing so domestically.

Langley’s 633rd Contracting Squadron put out a notice on October 4 asking for information about potential counter-drone netting that could be installed around up to 42 existing open-ended sunshade-type shelters at the base. Langley, now technically part of Joint Base Langley-Eustis, is one of a select few bases to host F-22s and is a key component of the Air Force’s posture to defend the U.S. homeland.

The 633rd “is in the process of determining the acquisition strategy to obtain non-personal services for the Unmanned Ariel Services (UAS) Netting for East Ramp Metal Sunshades,” according to the contracting notice. “The intention of the netting is to deter and ultimately prevent the intrusion of UAS’s near airmen and aircraft. This initial sunshade netting installation on the metal sunshade (bay Alpha 1) shall serve as a proof of concept for the remaining sunshades.”

The “netting should be capable of disabling a Group 1/ “Small” Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), such as the DJI Matrice 300 RTK, while remaining attached,” the notice explains. Per the U.S. military’s definitions, drones in Group 1 can have weights of up to 20 pounds, fly up to 1,200 feet, and reach speeds of up to 100 knots.

BOMBSHELL: FBI arranged Trump’s real foreign assassin’s entry into the USA

The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) helped the Pakistani assassin, who planned to kill former President Donald Trump, to enter the United States.

Back in September, the Department of Justice said it charged a Pakistani national with ties to Iran in connection to a plot to assassinate a politician or U.S. government official on U.S. soil. According to reports, he targeted Trump.

Asif Merchant entered the country in April and was arrested on July 12 as he prepared to leave the country. It appears that Merchant was the Iranian threat the Secret Service was briefed on before Trump’s July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

According to an X post of Fox‘s Bill Melugin, Merchant “was admitted into the U.S. via parole for ‘significant public benefit’ when [Customs and Border Patrol] encountered him at the airport in [Texas] in April after he flew in from overseas.” The sponsor of his parole “was the FBI Dallas office, for ‘security interests.'”

According to Melugin and the FBI, the Bureau allowed the Pakistani into the country so they could monitor him and build a case.

“Merchant was arrested on July 12th, nearly three months after he was admitted into the US. The FBI had eyes on him during this time, and utilized numerous undercover agents, who Merchant thought were hitmen he was hiring,” Melugin wrote.

According to reports, Merchant was trying to hire assassins to kill Trump on behalf of the Iranian government. He allegedly explained his plot involved multiple criminal schemes: stealing documents or USB drives from a target’s home; planning a protest; and killing a politician or government official.

He met with purported hitmen, who were actually undercover U.S. law enforcement officers, in New York. He allegedly told them they would receive instructions on who to kill either the last week of August or the first week of September after Merchant had departed America. He paid them $5,000.

Analysts are now wondering if Thomas Crooks, the attempted assassination suspect who was immediately taken down by Security Service, had been in communication with Merchant or any other people hiring to kill the Republican presidential nominee. News reports indicated that Crooks had multiple cell phones and encrypted accounts communicating with people in other countries.

Meanwhile, former FBI agent Steve Friend also told bestselling author and journalist Lee Smith that it’s unusual that Merchant “was in the country for several months before they executed the arrest.” He also suggested the feds did not have any proof Merchant had connections to the Iranian government or that he had intentions of targeting Trump before he came to America.

Black Hawk Helo Wreaks Havoc On Civilian Hurricane Outpost, Raising Questions

The pilots of what appears to be an unmarked Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter generated a massive downwash, also known as rotor wash, that sent tents and aid flying in all directions at a volunteer supply zone operated by private citizens in western North Carolina.

This action by the helicopter pilots is up for debate, with many on X believing this was an intentional act of sabotage by the federal government. 

There are no official statements by local, state, or federal governments about the incident. Flight tracking data shows that the Black Hawk is military-owned. 

The big discussion here is whether the incident was intentional or unintentional.

Commentary on the video may suggest intentional…

Failed Trump Assassin Had A List Of Everywhere Trump Would Be August To October

The deranged leftist who attempted to kill president Trump was in possession of a list of venues and events where the GOP nominee was going to appear, according to a detention filing.

Ryan Routh appeared in court Monday charged with two federal gun crimes: Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession, and receipt of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

DOJ prosecutors noted that Routh also conducted several reconnaissance trips to Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course and his Mar-a-Lago residence months before he was caught.

Routh’s apparent knowledge of intimate details of Trump’s schedule has led many to question where he got it from, with Rep. Eli Crane even suggesting there could be a mole within the Secret Service who is intent on seeing Trump killed.

It also emerged that Routh weirdly wrote a letter addressed “Dear world” outlining how he had tried to assassinate Trump, but had failed. Within the letter he offers $150,000 to anyone who can finish the job.

Feds serve search warrants on interim New York City Police Commissioner Tom Donlon

Just over a week after taking charge of the nation’s largest police department, interim New York City Police Commissioner Tom Donlon confirmed Saturday that federal agents served search warrants on multiple homes belonging to him.

In a statement obtained by CBS News, Donlon said that “federal authorities” on Friday “executed search warrants at my residences.”

Donlon alleged that the agents “took materials that came into my possession approximately 20 years ago and are unrelated to my work with the New York City Police Department.”

He added that the NYPD would “not be commenting” as this was “not a department matter.”

Donlon’s predecessor, Edward Caban, resigned on Sept. 12, about one week after it emerged that Caban’s phone was seized as part of a federal investigation that touched several members of New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ inner circle.

Caban, who had served as commissioner of the NYPD about 15 months, said in an email to staff at the time that he made the decision to resign after the “news around recent developments” had “created a distraction for our department.”

Donlon previously served as the chief of the FBI’s National Threat Center and once led the Office of Homeland Security in New York, before starting his own security firm in 2020. He helped lead the investigation into the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and investigated the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings and USS Cole bombing.

Caban’s resignation marked the first high-level departure from the Adams administration since federal investigators seized phones Sept. 4 from several members of the mayor’s inner circle, including two deputy mayors, the schools chancellor, and one of Adams’ top advisers.

The subject of the investigation, which is being led by U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan, remains unclear, as does whether federal authorities were seeking information linked to one investigation or several.

Tucson Trump Rally Attendees Report Suffering Mysterious Eye Burning Symptoms

The Trump campaign is investigating reports that up to 20 attendees of his rally in Tucson last week experienced severe eye irritation issues, prompting speculation the incident was some kind of chemical attack.

News 4 Tucson reports that it interviewed six people who were seated directly behind Trump during the event who sought medical attention after saying their eyes felt like they were burning.

“As soon as we left and we stepped outside my eyes were burning,” Mayra Rodriguez told the news network.

“The emergency room staff, from the triage nurse to the PA [Physicians Assistant] asked are you sure you didn’t get sprayed with something your symptoms look like you got sprayed with something,” she added.

Rodriguez said that doctors could not identify the cause of her discomfort.

“I can’t see anything when I try to open my eyes. I see a bright light. It hurts, it hurts a lot to open my eyes. I have this cold cloth I put on and take off constantly. It’s horrible,” she added.

N4T Investigators also spoke with a brother and sister who attended the event and experienced similar symptoms.

“It kept getting worse and worse, my eyes were watering a lot, my nose started running then I started feeling my face get really flushed and my neck felt like it was on fire and it just progressed from there,” said the sister.

Meanwhile, her brother said, “It was all focused on my eyes, my eyes were red like hell you know, it’s unbearable. I couldn’t handle it.”

The Secret Service responded by saying it was completely unaware of the situation (big surprise there), while the Trump campaign said it would be investigating the matter.

Seven questions about Ryan Routh, the second aspiring Trump assassin

Unless you live under a rock, you’ve probably heard about the recent incident involving another attempted assassination against President Trump. I’ve done quite a bit of research on the profile of charged suspect Ryan Routh, and I have some questions about the overall situation.

  1. Was Ryan Routh directed or encouraged to carry out an attack by any domestic or foreign governments?

Routh had countless contacts overseas in Eastern Europe and Asia. He was in constant contact with militants and aspiring warfighters in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and elsewhere. He spent quite a bit of time in Ukraine in 2022.

On the domestic front, it’s no secret that our politicized law enforcement and intelligence agencies have involved high-profile public figures in past ploys. We must also not forget that elements of U.S. intelligence services dedicated the entirety of the Trump presidency to attempting to destroy the man. Sadly, we can’t rule out the troublesome possibility that Routh (and perhaps Crooks before him) is the upgrade from information operation to kinetic operation.

Stonehenge mystery deepens: Scientists say the altar stone did NOT come from Orkney as claimed – as the hunt for its place of origin continues

The origin of Stonehenge’s iconic standing stones has baffled archaeologists for hundreds of years.

Last month, the plot thickened as scientists made a bombshell discovery that the stone circle’s altar stone could be traced back to Scotland, rather than Wales.

Now, the mystery has deepened once again as a new study finds that this bluestone slab did not originate from Orkney as most experts had assumed. 

‘The mystery of where the stone came from is becoming clearer and clearer as we begin to rule out specific areas in north-east Scotland,’ said Professor Richard Bevins from Aberystwyth University, the lead author of the new study.

‘This research is radically changing our thinking about the origins of the Altar Stone. It’s thrilling to know that our chemical analysis and dating work is slowly unlocking this great mystery.’

Apalachee High School Shooter On FBI Radar For Over A Year, Campus Threatened In Phone Call Morning Of Massacre

In the aftermath of Wednesday’s tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, law enforcement has revealed the FBI was aware of the suspect for over a year and there was a shooting threat made via telephone on the morning of the attack.

The alarming revelations undoubtedly leave many asking why students were still allowed to go to school after the phone threat or why there wasn’t at least a heightened state of security.

It’s unclear who made the threatening call, but CNN reports the individual warned there would be shootings Wednesday at five schools beginning with Apalachee.

Regarding the shooter being on the FBI radar, the Bureau released a public notice via X on Wednesday, stating, “In May 2023, the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received several anonymous tips about online threats to commit a school shooting at an unidentified location and time… Within 24 hours, the FBI determined the online post originated in Georgia and the FBI’s Atlanta Field Office referred the information to the Jackson County Sheriff’s office for action.”
