I’ve never heard of anything like this, post 9-11. What the heck is going on?
As of February 11, 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has closed the airspace over El Paso International Airport and parts of southern New Mexico for 10 days, citing unspecified “national defense” reasons.
The unusual, 10-day Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) prohibits all commercial, cargo, and general aviation, with officials pending further guidance.
Interesting 🤔🤔🤔
Has there been anything like this except for 9/11?
I know “immigrants” are often hired to do baggage handling and various airport duties, and there used to be discussions of how many Arabs were hired in the 2000s.
But some of the dangerous Biden era illegals now may be preparing their big event.
We were all warned.
Shoulder mounted small missiles. Explosives put on aircraft as part of maintenance. Sudden arrival of automatic weapon armed groups on the tarmac. Devices to interfere with instruments. Swarms of drones suddenly unleashed.
If there are any Chinese agents watching the airport as in several other cities where they bought “agricultural land”
maybe they could share their surveillance data (JUST KIDDING).
Last night I heard a low roar like a circling jet crossed with a diesel that went on for an hour. About 6:30 MST. Came from the direction of El Paso.
Sky glowed.
Someone discovered a jar of salsa from “New York City?!” and they created a security perimeter around the area to ensure no one touches it?
I’m guessing incoming alien 👽 craft just to be different.
Thx for the realtime happening........scary.
Tarkus on the runway.
There is currently an observation balloon (belongs to CBP) hanging SW of Fort Davis.
:: Swarms of drones suddenly unleashed ::
This may not be very far off-target.
If you’re looking for weird, White Sands missile range is near, as is the Trinity Site, Roswell and everything else that goes into such stories.
The sound I heard was extremely strange and long.
I’ve heard my share of jets and diesels and conventional and rocket artillery and this was something else.
The closet I’ve ever heard was turbine diesels for a frack job as they crank up and go for hours. This was not that.
Lack of personal for air traffic control? TC systems failures?…..or aliens, either kind.
Sewer gas?
BUT, the fact that this TFR also includes a separate, fairly large area of airspace right against the Mexican border in a desolate area of southern New Mexico is strange if taking down commercial or other aircraft with MANPADs were the issue.
