A military veteran and contractor has suggested the drones seen over the US in recent weeks are hunting “radioactive material”.
John Ferguson, the founder of Saxon Unmanned, claims the drones are being used in the search for a rogue nuclear warhead believed to have been smuggled into the United States.
“The only reason why you would ever fly an aircraft, an unmanned aircraft at night, is if you’re looking for something,” he stated. Ferguson speculates that the object of this search is a lost nuclear warhead, potentially hidden somewhere along the US East Coast.
Delving into the history, he explained: “Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program. There were countless nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of.”
However, he raised concerns about missing armaments, saying: “But there were over 80 nuclear warheads that were in Ukraine that came up missing. We don’t know where they are.”
Ferguson also recounted a conversation with an individual who claimed to have direct knowledge of one such warhead. “I spoke to a gentleman a few months ago who was trying to raise an alarm, to the highest levels of our government… about this one particular nuclear warhead that he physically put his hands on,” he said.
John was told that his source had physical contact with a warhead from Ukraine and was convinced it was en route to the United States.
He pointed out that drone cameras have limited use at night, but thermal sensors and “sniffer” devices can detect radiation sources on the ground. He recalled a similar event from a few years ago where “drones were mysteriously flying across the Interstate 70 corridor from Colorado, up in Nebraska, down here into Kansas and out into Missouri”.
Now, he alleges that the US government is deploying a fleet of drones to “sniff out” a radiation source on the ground. “We have special sensors that can detect radioactive material,” he elaborated.
He also claimed that, despite his contact’s warning about an incoming bomb, the Pentagon ignored it and is now discreetly trying to locate it without causing public panic. He continued: “It’s out there. Nobody knows where it’s at now. It left Europe. Now it’s gone.”
The drones, he believes, are not malicious but are actually an effort to prevent a terror attack. John continued: “The only reason why they would be flying and flying that low is because they’re trying to smell something on the ground.”
He dismissed congressman Jeff Van Drew’s theories of an Iranian or Chinese “mothership” sending waves of drones into America from international waters. John concluded: “Drones that are multi copter type drones – not the fixed wing aircraft that look like regular airplanes, but the multi copter – 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 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.”
