US military to disrupt cell phones in Texas after UFO reports

"Military personnel at Fort Hood are scheduled to test anti-drone systems that can interfere with satellite navigation signals across a wide area, potentially degrading GPS accuracy for aircraft, drones, and consumer devices. The interruptions, which began February 2, are expected to continue on Friday and Saturday mornings through February 27, with the final round scheduled from February 23 to 27. The affected zone spans major cities, including Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and extends as far as Oklahoma City."

"The testing comes just days after US airspace was abruptly shut down in El Paso following a security incident involving what was later identified as a party balloon. In the hours before the shutdown, an eyewitness near El Paso International Airport reported seeing a large object releasing smaller objects, footage that was shared with the crowdsourced UFO-reporting platform Enigma. The sighting occurred shortly before the FAA closed a large swath of airspace for 'special security reasons' at 11:30 p.m. MT on February 10."

"Pilots experiencing problems with GPS-reliant equipment are urged to report anomalies following standard FAA procedures. The disruptions could also affect cars, phones, tablets, watches, and other GPS-dependent devices across an area more than 190 miles wide, though not all systems are expected to be impacted. The tests are likely being conducted with support from electronic warfare units to simulate a degraded GPS environment."

Military personnel at Fort Hood will test anti-drone systems capable of interfering with satellite navigation signals over a broad area, potentially degrading GPS accuracy for aircraft, drones, and consumer devices. Interruptions began February 2 and are scheduled on Friday and Saturday mornings through February 27, with a final set from February 23–27. The affected zone includes Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and reaches as far as Oklahoma City, covering more than 190 miles. Operators of aircraft, drones, and GPS-reliant systems are advised to plan for degraded navigation and consider alternative methods. Pilots should report GPS anomalies per FAA procedures. Tests likely involve electronic warfare support to simulate a degraded GPS environment.
