N1098L HADES Over UVU
Public ADS-B and citizen OSINT place a U.S. Army HADES ISR jet — tail N1098L, callsign
AXEL10 — making extremely low, slow passes near UVU/Orem on September 10, 2025,
including before and after the ~12:23 PM shooting. CK_FILE summarizes: "It was ours. From
either the Pentagon, or Langley." Full flight dossier: Planes — N1098L and structured data in the repo's planes.yaml.
Documented pass pattern (citizen tracking)
| Window | Altitude / speed (reported) | Timing vs shot |
|---|---|---|
| Morning pass | ~600–650 ft AGL, ~118 knots | ~3 hours before shooting (~9:16 AM MT cited) |
| Afternoon pass | ~204–335 ft AGL, ~129 knots | ~20–24 min after shot (~12:48 PM MT cited) |
Second pass described as over Lake Utah ~2 miles from UVU — unusually low for a Global 6500 in civilian airspace near a major campus event. CK_FILE logs a tighter sequence: drones dropped ~9:16 AM MT, assassination 12:23 PM MT, drones picked up 12:48 PM MT — the recovery pass again dropping to ~203 ft and slowing to stall speed (~116 knots) roughly 1 mile from campus.
Aircraft identity and operator
Per CK_FILE and ADS-B Exchange / Flightradar24 records:
- Tail: N1098L — formerly N911PV — ICAO A0299E, callsign AXEL10
- Airframe: Bombardier Global 6500, the platform the Army wants to test air-launched drones from
- Operator: LASAI Aviation II LLC, an ISR defense contractor (FAA address 10660 Aviation Lane, Manassas, VA 20110); control fell under Leidos in 2021
- Departure Sept 10: Biggs Army Airfield (KBIF, El Paso, TX) ~07:48 MDT → Glacier Park Intl (KGPI, Kalispell, MT), with the Orem loops en route
- HADES base: the program is run out of Biggs AFB — where personnel reportedly went after Fort Huachuca (see Fort Huachuca)
- Current location: as of ~Oct 6, 2025, N1098L was on the ground at Corpus Christi Intl (CRP, TX)
CK also notes the same LASAI/Leidos aircraft lineage was found circling Washington, DC on and immediately after Jan. 6, 2021 — cited by researchers as a pattern of ISR presence at politically charged events.
DARPA X-65 airdrop theory
CK_FILE floats a specific mechanism: a DARPA X-65 micro-UAS (2–5 kg) could be airdropped from the Global Express at HUNSU (~4,743 ft) on the Provo ILS Runway 13 approach, glide to a mission, and be retrieved at ~336 ft AGL / ~103 knots by a helicopter net or jet arm. Researchers pair this with a switchblade-class drone reportedly also on site. This is theory, not confirmed hardware.
Why investigators treat this as intel involvement
HADES (High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System) is military ISR — signals, sensors, and (in public debate) drone coordination. Presence at homicide window suggests:
- Real-time surveillance of the event (capability),
- Possible operational support (theory — e.g. John Cullen drone launch/retrieval claims),
- Fort Huachuca / Army intelligence command relay (theory in X threads)
The Army has not published a mission explanation for Orem loops on Sept 10.
Hansell and HADES command chain
CK ties Bradley D. Hansell (Under Secretary of War for Intelligence) to HADES oversight and the Fort Huachuca Sept 9 VIP flight — linking cabinet-level DOD intel to the same week as N1098L behavior. Allegation only; not proof Hansell ordered UVU passes.
LASAI Aviation / Ackman address rumor
CK notes LASAI Aviation II LLC operator and alleges shared New York address with Bill Ackman's Pershing Square — used in commentary to question private-capital adjacency to a military ISR shell. Unverified corporate tie; do not state Ackman operated the flight.
Official vs routine training debate
Debunkers call passes routine training; proponents cite timing, altitude, and dual passes on assassination day as beyond routine. Proof Intel Services holds both until mission logs release.
