In a shocking revelation that has left social media ablaze and even caught the attention of podcast king Joe Rogan, John Ferguson, the CEO of Saxon Aerospace LLC, has delivered a bombshell theory on a series of mysterious drone sightings.
Ferguson, an expert in the field of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), believes these drones are not operating with nefarious intent but are likely searching for something critical on the ground.
Ferguson:
I wanted to give you all my opinion on what I think could be going on with these drones.
I don’t particularly believe that these have a nefarious intent. I could be wrong. But I want to give you the truth and what I believe. It’s my own opinion, and I’ve not bounced this off of anybody. So if you think it’s bullshit, whatever, that’s cool. I don’t want to spread misinformation, as we know that there’s a lot of that going around.
Ferguson linked the sightings to a shocking claim: the disappearance of over 80 nuclear warheads from Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
According to Ferguson, these weapons have never been fully accounted for, and at least one of them may have been headed toward the United States.
Ferguson recounted a conversation with a government insider who physically handled one of the missing warheads, only to see his warnings ignored by U.S. authorities.
Ferguson:
Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program. With Russia, there were countless nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of. Well, there were over 80, I believe. There were over 80 nuclear warheads that were in Ukraine that came up missing.
We don’t know where they are. Maybe somebody does, but nobody really knows where these are. I speak with some pretty high-level government officials on this stuff. It seems as though that is the case.
I spoke to a gentleman a few months ago who was trying to raise an alarm to the highest levels of our government, which they had their ears closed, about this one particular nuclear warhead that he physically put his hands on.
He physically touched this warhead that was left over from Ukraine. And he knew that that thing was headed towards the United States. That is a very serious deal. And everyone knows that the United States government, this administration, is pushing to get into a war with Russia. We all know that. We all feel it. We all see it. We’ll back up a few years…
Ferguson linked these sightings to earlier reports of unidentified drones along the Interstate 70 corridor, stretching from Colorado to Missouri. At the time, it was believed those drones were searching for missing radioactive materials within the United States.
Ferguson: Now, with new sightings near New Jersey and along the East Coast, Ferguson suggests this may be part of a larger, secretive government operation to locate the missing warhead.
Do you all remember when those drones were mysteriously flying across the Interstate 70 corridor from Colorado, up in Nebraska, down here into Kansas, and out into Missouri?
Well, it was believed that those drones were looking for radioactive material because there had been some material that came up missing here in the United States.
They felt like it was high probability that the nuclear or the radioactive material would be taken along the Interstate 70 corridor heading east or west or south. From what we understand, they were out there trying to find this radioactive material.
The CEO further explained that the specific use of drones at night, equipped with advanced sensing technologies, suggests that they are being used for specialized tasks such as intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).
Ferguson dismissed the idea that these drones are used for ordinary tasks like mapping or agricultural work, which are typically conducted during daylight.
Instead, he insists these operations are likely aimed at detecting hidden or elusive targets, including radioactive materials.
Ferguson: Now, drones have no reason to be in the air at night unless you’re doing some type of ISR work, intelligence surveillance reconnaissance, looking for bad guys or looking for a victim, a search and rescue victim, or law enforcement, or some type of military project.
There’s no reason for a drone to be flying at night, really, because they don’t see shit. Unless you have thermal optics, drones really don’t see stuff. You need to do mapping during the day. If you’re going to do farming stuff, mostly do it during the day.
The only reason why you would ever fly an unmanned aircraft at night is if you’re looking for something, whether it be a person or trying to smell gas.
We have methane gas detection systems that can detect gas leaks and pipelines. You really wouldn’t use thermal optics for trying to find gas leaks just simply because the only way you’re actually going to find a gas leak with thermal optics is if the gas leak is aggressive enough that it has a difference in temperature. Because radio thermal imaging, it creates a digital image based off the temperature of variance.
So whatever is different in temperature, it creates an image. Gas, usually gas leaks so slow that it goes quickly into ambient before you can even see it. So we have special sensors that can detect gas leaks.
We also have special sensors that can detect radioactive material. So with this gentleman that I had spoken with who was trying to raise the alarm to try to get somebody in the government to say, ‘Hey, we need to work together to go try to find this nuclear warhead.’ None of that ever happened. They knew that warhead was on its way to the United States.
That’s all that ever came of it. Nothing ever happened. This government did not do anything at all to help this gentleman raise the alarm and raise awareness that there is a very deadly weapon on its way to the United States. It’s out there.
Nobody knows where it’s at now. It left Europe, now it’s gone. My guess, my own guess, is that these drones are not nefarious in intent. If they are, they are, but I doubt it. But if they are our drones, the only reason why they would be flying, and flying that low, is because they’re trying to smell something on the ground.
Ferguson explained that the type of drones observed—multi-copters rather than fixed-wing aircraft—are limited in range due to their battery life and operational capabilities.
Given these limitations, Ferguson hypothesizes that the drones are being launched from unknown locations within the United States and are flying low to the ground for a specific purpose: sniffing out substances such as gas leaks or radioactive material.
Ferguson: My belief is they’re trying to smell something on the ground, gas, leaks, radioactive material, whatever. Do I think that If they’re coming up out of the ocean, no, I don’t think so.
Drones that are multi-copter type drones, not the fixed wing aircraft that look like regular airplanes, but the multi-copters, they only have so much battery life. They have hybrid versions that are gas-powered with electric, but those can still only fly for a short period of time.
There’s no way in hell that any drone is going to go miles off the Coast as a multi-copter and fly into the interior of the United States and do a bunch of work and then turn around and fly back. It’s just physics will not allow that to happen.
So these drones, I believe, are launched from a location that nobody knows. But I do believe that they’re flying low enough that they’re just trying to sniff the ground and try to find something. So again, I hate to be a pessimist or a guy that thinks directly to the negative.
However, I know as a professional, we build professional stuff for the military. I believe that they’re actually out there trying to smell something that’s very important.
