6). Regardless of who is flying these drones (BLUE or RED), they expose a vulnerability common to all modern nations. Defensive technology must catch up to the threat, and fast.

5). Countering this threat is not as easy as buying a monolithic air defense systems. Custom radar loadsets must be designed to prevent filtering of the signatures of these drone types. Furthermore, more radars over larger areas must be installed.

4). It may be that the drones are being flown from a satellite, since they are so low, and appear to be spread across a wide area. A Group 3 drone launch may require 3-5 people. If you extrapolate the rogue drones in flight in the EU right now, there may be multiple drone bases

3). Group 3 drones offer payload capacities of up to around 100 pounds. A lot of technology or weaponry can fill a 100 lbs payload compartment. Low, slow, drones with a high-volume payload can enable a sophisticated enemy a lot of options.

2). When constructed of materials like carbon fiber, which is inherently harder to detect due to it’s low Radar Cross Section, and flown at lower levels, perhaps 2,000 feet and below, and furthermore moving slowly, perhaps below 30 miles per hour (13 meters per second), it

1). The drones operating in Europe appear to be what is classified generally as Group 3 drones; which weigh less than approximately 1300 pounds and typically have a wingspan of less than 30 feet or so.

What kinds of drones are slipping through Europe’s defenses? They could be Group 3 drones, medium-sized, built with composites, flying low and slow. If that’s the case, they raise hard questions about radar coverage, payload capacity, and the range of threats they may represent.

It was a pleasure speaking with @BillyKryzak about the intriguing data points from the Hellfire video. Whether the object is something mundane like a balloon or otherwise, the questions remain about what is in our skies and its impact on national security. @GarryPNolan

Presenting UAP Class 2 – Tic Tac. This class is defined by a bright white cylindrical craft observed to shift shape mid-flight—typically elongating horizontally during the transition from a hover to forward motion, with color changes from white to purple to pink. These

Presenting UAP Class 1 – Tetra. This class is characterized by a tumbling or rotation-like motion, observed mid-air without any visible means of propulsion. Coordinated formations are also common, appearing consistently across both electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) sensors.

It was a pleasure sitting with Jesse Michels, @AlchemyAmerican, to discuss the efforts of @SkywatcherHQ to advance public awareness of the incursions in our national airspace by unknown actors. I appreciate the team we have assembled, including @AKlokus, @jakebarber2025,

For the first time, an autonomous racing drone has outperformed world champion pilots—from takeoff to landing—navigating a complex course using deep neural networks. How long before this tech shifts from racing gates to warzones? Imagine the obstacles being windows, trees… not

It is fascinating to discover science-based publications that explore the theoretical physics behind the phenomena observed in our skies. Here is an excerpt from "Advanced Space Propulsion Based on Vacuum (Spacetime Metric) Engineering", by @haroldputhoff. It explores and
