About This Cluster​

This is the annotated version of the drop-off argument: one aerial photograph of the Utah Valley University campus, marked up and re-cut into a numbered slide deck so the geography and the flight data can be read in a single frame. The red callouts label two points — "Charlies Tent" on the blue canopy in the central plaza, and "Drone Drop Off" on the open water past the campus edge — putting the distance between them in front of the reader instead of describing it. The deck was built for sharing, which is why thirteen near-identical crops of the same image sit in this cluster.

The red banner text is identical on every slide and reads: "Plane designed for Drone drop-off (US Army's Bombardier Global 6500). 3 hours before @ 203 feet altitude, over water, 116 knot stall speed. Returned 23 minutes after Assassination, dropped to 203' altititude @ 116 knots (pick up?). Flight N1098L. Data from Gov flight public website (AXLE10). Take-off: Biggs Army Airfield. Spy Program: HADES (High, Accuracy, Detection & Exploitation, System)." The typo in "altititude" and the question mark after "pick up?" are in the original. Two claims in that block are checkable against public tracking data — the altitude and speed of the two low passes, and the departure from Biggs Army Airfield in El Paso — while the inference that drones were released and recovered is exactly that, an inference. The claimed callsign is rendered as AXLE10 here and as AXEL10 elsewhere in the investigation's notes, a small discrepancy worth resolving before the deck is cited.

Because the slides repeat, reading one is enough; the rest are alternate crops. Go back up to Drop Off for the clean, unannotated aerial. Then weigh the claim against N1098L Spy Plane, N1098L Air-Launched Drones, and Sept 10 Flight Timeline. The removed source article behind the HADES drone-launch reporting is documented in Cover Up.
