All flights to and from El Paso International Airport in Texas have been halted for “special security reasons,” the Federal Aviation Administration said early Wednesday.
content. arrow “No pilots may operate an aircraft in the areas covered by this NOTAM,” the FAA said, using the abbreviation for Notice to Airmen. It listed the reason as “temporary flight restrictions for Special Security Reasons.”

I saw the alert but can’t figure the reason. It is a big deal.
Possible MANPAD’s loose in Mexico
“I saw the alert but can’t figure the reason. It is a big deal.”
I’ve seen very little in the news, but it would not surprise me if Trump were going for a full court press against the cartels. The news on this would be kept low key so as not to embarrass the Mexican president. One thing that would probably cause this alert would be if intelligence had picked up information that short range anti-air missiles had been imported into Mexico.
Those missiles could be sourced from Cuba, China or Iran. Each of the aforementioned maintain significant intelligence efforts in South and Central America and those operations are essentially self-financing quasi government cartels.
In addition, many countries maintain a supply of weapons from a variety of states so they can be used in operations and provide plausible deniability.
Did the ATFE loose track of it during a OP?
I can’t stop thinking IRAN is at the bottom of this one way or another.
Important context: the El Paso TFR is not like the 9/11 nationwide airspace shutdown. DC & NY restrictions were created later. A ban on all flights over a U.S. city—including medevac and police helicopters—has no modern precedent

I have a Granddaughter stationed at Bliss so I hope they gather this up conclusively.
My normally good sources are all over the place on this one. So far we have...
Downed experimental aircraft in the area
Downed unknown aircraft in the area
Intel pointing to cartel launching an offensive
Preparing for massive strikes against the cartels
Security exercise
No one knows anything for certain, it seems.
Stay tuned.
Strange.
Stolen from Ukrane?
Crashed UFO.
Recovery operation underway.
Or it could be something else...
I have a buddy who is a higher ranked Army officer at Bliss. He said this caught them flat footed with no warning so happened it’s something real and not a test of any kind.
If she’s a zoomie, see if they have any different take.
This area is mainly th city or suburbs. If it was a downed craft it would be all over the news.
This is odd. Very odd.
Alien craft landing? LOL
It would be all over YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, you mean.
Ramadan begins next week. Would we attack during Ramadan?
