BLINDSIDED Ukraine ‘blinds 8 Russian drone operators using goggles booby-trapped with explosives in pager bomb-style plot’
Updated: 17:03, 20 Feb 2025
UKRAINE has reportedly blinded eight Russian drone operators in a sophisticated operation using explosive military goggles.
Zelensky’s troops are thought to have booby-trapped headsets used to operate UAVs via a mysterious volunteer group in a plot similar to the Israeli pager blitz carried out by the IDF.
The apparent sabotage mission caught Putin’s drone troops off-guard as the glasses were reportedly rigged to blow up when turned on.
Both the Russian and Ukrainian armies have relied on donations as they rush to replenish frontline supplies.
Dozens of goggle explosions have been reported by troops since mid-February, according to defence site Militarnyi.
Around 80 sets of Skyzone Cobra FPV goggles were donated to different units of Putin’s army by an NGO this year, it was reported.
Each group is said to have received the items for free from the same organisation.
The first headset explosion was reported on February 4, when a pair detonated while on an operator's face.
Seven more blasts were then reported over the next three days in the Kursk, Donetsk, and Luhansk areas.
Some of these goggles, however, were intercepted and inspected by Russian forces, where they made a shocking discovery.
A video shows the military goggles being taken apart to reveal a white powder.
Around 10 to 15 grams of plastic explosives were allegedly found inside these glasses.
Vlad’s men claimed these goggles were altered to add a remote detonation feature that would blow up when used to cause maximum damage.
Kyiv has been accused of capitalising on these donations to catch out Russian soldiers when they least expect it, but Ukraine is yet to confirm this.
The attacks resembled the pager bombs Israel carried out on Hezbollah fighters last year - leaving at least nine dead and over 2,000 injured.
Militants were caught out by pagers that secretly included a battery filled with explosives.
These stealthy detonators were even built to go undetected through X-rays and all the pagers were programmed to blow at the same time.
Israeli Mossad forces even circulated fake online stories to deceive Hezbollah about these deadly pagers' larger-than-usual size.
At least 9 people were killed and around 3,000 injured when several pagers exploded simultaneously in Lebanon, in September 2024.
SNEAKY SURPRISE
This has not been the first time Ukraine has reportedly used booby traps to catch out Russian invaders.
An apparent Ukrainian assassin planted a bomb in an e-scooter that killed a top Russian general.
Incredible footage caught the moment the scooter exploded outside a central Moscow block of flats.
General Igor Kirillov, 54, died after this bomb as he and his assistant Ilya Polikarpov left the apartment building.
Around 200g of TNT stuck to the scooter is believed to have been detonated remotely.
SHOCK DEVELOPMENTS
Donald Trump has ignited a dramatic and surprise feud between the US and Ukraine.
The US President branded Zelenksy a "dictator" while attempting to negotiate peace talks with Russia and without Ukraine.
Ukraine's leader furiously hit back and accused Trump of living in a "Russian disinformation bubble".
America also pulled the plug on a joint press conference with itself and Ukraine on Thursday.
Zelensky met with US envoy Keith Kellogg in Kyiv but their news conference, which was due to follow, was cancelled last-minute
This request was made at the request of US officials, Zelensky's office said.

Military pilot’s reported encounter with UFO: ‘This is going to sound weird’
Updated: Feb 20, 2025 / 11:55 AM CST
A U.S. military pilot reportedly had a close encounter with an unidentified flying object.
Ben Hansen, host of the Discovery+ show “UFO Witness,” obtained the plane’s audio recording and shared it exclusively on “Banfield.”
In the recording, the pilot reports seeing a dark, football-sized object pass under the plane’s wing around 2:30 p.m. on Sept. 17, 2024, approximately 60 miles away.
The incident, involving a Homeland Security flight, occurred at 20,000 feet and likely involved a drug interdiction mission, Hansen said.
The object, described as cylindrical and dark, was detected by the aircraft’s radar.
Hansen explained that the plane, a Beechcraft 350 C, is equipped with a “very sensitive and complex radar array” used to track drug traffickers.
Hansen, a former FBI agent, noted the significance of the encounter, especially in controlled airspace and an area in which no air traffic was reported.
An air traffic controller later reported the sighting to the National UFO Reporting Center.
“There was some UFO reported here, but that’s all taken care of now, so you don’t have to worry about it, the air traffic controller said. “It was earlier, but it’s gone.”
Hansen said the object’s speed and altitude suggest it could not have been a drone, as it would have exceeded Mach 2 speeds in two minutes, which is beyond most drones’ capabilities.
UFO whistleblower sparks conversation
Much of the current conversation surrounding UFOs started when David Grusch came forward last year with his claims that the government was operating a secret program dedicated to retrieving crashed UAPs, or unidentified anomalous phenomena, and was in possession of nonhuman craft and biological remains of nonhuman beings.
The Department of Defense has denied these allegations.
Still, they sparked a 2023 congressional hearing on the subject — the first in more than 50 years — at which Grusch testified with former Navy pilot Ryan Graves and Navy Commander David Fravor.
Fravor spoke about his experience encountering a UAP. Both Graves and Fravor said they were concerned about the risks UAPs pose to the military, regardless of origin.
Lawmakers asked about the secret program referenced by Grusch, and eventually, the hearing led to the formation of a bipartisan UFO Caucus, informally led by Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn.
An official report issued by the Pentagon from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office found no evidence of a secret program.
Furthermore, it said the government has no evidence that UAPs are extraterrestrial in origin.
However, the Defense Department did admit to a proposed program known as Kona Blue, which was developed to reverse-engineer any alien technology recovered by the government.
This never got off the ground, the DOD said, as no such technology was ever located.
NASA, in a report of its own, said there is no evidence of extraterrestrial contact with Earth, though the agency said more rigorous research in the area and less stigma around the topic as a whole are needed.

Another UFO Sighting Or ‘Overly Massive’ Drone? Mysterious Viral Video Divides Internet
Updated Feb 20, 2025, 17:09 IST
A rather confusing video is heavily circulating on social media, where an unidentified object in the night sky went viral and ended up sparking the ‘aliens and UFO Sightings’ debate.
Here’s what the video showed and here’s how the internet reacted to it…
The internet was left divided- yet again- over a matter that was hardly fictional just until a few years ago; aliens and UFOs.
Not that now their existence has suddenly been confirmed or such, but multiple UFO sightings and eerie viral videos have surely become a thing in the past few years, fueling multiple conspiracy theories and support over the belief that aliens exist.
Expanding the dilemma with another clip, a video was recently shared on social media, which was allegedly recorded in Denver.
The confusing video showed an unidentified object- that looked rather massive- hovering around in the night sky.
After a while, the object began to emit a bright green light, which only increased the camera person's curiosity over the object- which many also speculated to be a drone. The exact date and the authenticity of the video could not be confirmed.
“Cloaked UFO/UAP captured in Denver, CO,” the post read. The post was shared on Reddit, by the handle ‘srinionstrike’. The post was shared yesterday and pulled more than 2K views from people.
The video, soon after getting shared, pulled all kinds of reactions. Most found the incident scary, while some speculated it was a drone.
Many also recalled similar instances and narrated their own versions. A few denied the existence of aliens and UFOs, while the rest were shocked by the clip.
“Saw this 10 years ago while living in Denver with a friend after getting out of the car to walk inside. Specifically green light on a cloudy night. F*cking wild. It was just like this.
I have to laugh at how crazy this all is. It’s happening. Who and what it is, idk, but it’s wild,” a user said.
“Interesting footage, thank you for sharing,” added a second person.
“This is exactly what happened to me. Same cloaking mechanism and when it noticed me noticing it, it flashed me with that light but it was only for a couple of seconds. Like straight at me and me only.
Turns off light, goes back into the cloak and you can see the outline of whatever the f*ck it was as it zooms off in restricted airspace,” added another.

Did A Fox News Channel in Michigan Just Capture A UFO On Live TV?
February 20, 2025
A very weird incident occurred last week on a local Fox News station that has people questioning whether or not aliens or a mysterious craft was spotted over the Mackinac Bridge.
The incident occurred as Fox 2 was preparing to go to a commercial with live footage of the Mackinac Bridge at night on the night of February 14.
As the anchor Erica Francis was about to leave for commercial, she ended with:
"Alan is going to break those events down for us. Coming up next…,”
it was then that she paused and completely switched topics noticing that there was a mysterious object with lights floating in the sky:
“What is that flying in the air? It’s a… It’s a UFO. All right, we’ll see you next.”
She was further baffled as soon as she said anything about the alleged UFO it seemed to give the fact that it zoomed off into the distance, once again shocking her.
“It’s a UFO, and now it disappeared.“
Taking a closer look at the video it looks like, from one perspective that the moment she mentions it being a UFO it zooms off into the distance in the background.
With a closer look at it, you see what appears to be some kind of craft with lights on it disappear into the clouds.
It’s important to point out that there is indeed a small airport on Mackinac Island, and it’s not uncommon that a plane could’ve taken off from the island right around that time, it’s just a strange coincidence that she mentioned it being a UFO and then it immediately disappeared.
Reported UFO Sightings Over Michigan in 2023
More than three dozen UFO reports have been filed in Michigan in 2023, any many of them have purported photographic evidence.
While some of these are easily explained away, not all of them are.
