The U.S. Marines Want To Deploy A High Tech Cloak To Hide From Drones
April 18, 2026 12:47 pm EST
The baseball player John Francis Daley once famously said, "You can't hit what you can't see."
While this was meant to explain why he missed a critical pitch during a 1912 game, it's also relevant on the battlefield. If a drone can't see you, it can't shoot at you.
The U.S. Marine Corps has recently taken an interest in what can best be described as a "high-tech cloak" that can allegedly hide troops from drones.
This piece of seemingly sci-fi equipment, dubbed the "Multispectral Camouflage Overgarment" (MCO), is supposed to "reduce the probability of detection" from drones that use visible, infrared, and thermal detection equipment, according to documents from the U.S. General Services Administration.
Think one part the Invisibility Cloak from "Harry Potter" and two parts the mud Arnold Schwarzenegger used to avoid the titular villain of "Predator."
However, the MCO will only be effective at relatively long distances in the hundreds-to-thousands of meters range.
While hiding from drones is a top priority, the U.S. Marine Corps also wants the product to be durable and functional in a wide variety of climates, from polar to arid.
The Marine Corps' "Request for Information" details an interest in the MCO and outlines several other necessities, such as a resistance to mold and the ability to chuck it in the washing machine.
Overall, the U.S. Marines are looking to acquire 13,000 MCOs by the 2027 fiscal year and 61,222 by the 2030 fiscal year.
All warfare is based on deception and observation
An unfortunate fact of reality is that the best way to preserve peace is to prepare for war. And sometimes the best way to prepare is by monitoring other countries that are fighting their own battles.
It's a morbid strategy, but it works. The U.S. Marine Corps' recent push towards more advanced stealth tech is directly linked to the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia and their extensive use of cheap commercial drones.
Both sides have utilized these products, which have also inspired their respective armies to invent weapons that can take out opposing drones.
For instance, Ukrainian soldiers have been developing a laser-based weapon that can down enemy UAVs, as well as buggies armed to the teeth designed to hunt drones.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military has been observing from the sidelines and noticed that the drones' extensive use of thermal and infrared equipment has rendered traditional hiding methods such as smoke and tall grass obsolete.
Given the readily available nature of such advanced detection technology, the MCO is expected to become a key tool in the U.S. Marine Corps' belt while soldiers are out in the field.
The MCO isn't the only new warfare device or technique inspired by Ukrainian war tactics.
The U.S. Army is also utilizing an "Amazon-like platform" to order and deploy drones onto battlefields due to the overwhelming use of drones in Ukraine.
However, while that system is currently in use, the MCOs have yet to begin production.

UFO disclosure? NJ Sen. Kim still wants answers on "drones" — “I keep hearing different things”
April 18, 2026
Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ)
LISTEN: Laslo & Kim
Ask a Pol asks:
Curious if your delegation has ever gotten an answer on the “drone” incursions over New Jersey?
Key Kim:
“I personally have not gotten any satisfying response, because I feel like I keep hearing different things,” Sen. Andy Kim exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP.
“I hear from, you know, FAA side, there’s nothing to see — that it was just a lot of public hysteria. But then like, I don’t know, I saw a videotape of this one company talking about how they were doing some drone testing and they were responsible for some of it.
And I’m just like, ‘What is this,’ you know?”
Caught our ear:
“I’m certainly personally intrigued by this,” Kim tells us. “But I don’t really know what to make of it in terms of what access they’ll actually provide and whatnot.”

UFO-Linked Scientist's Death Conspiracy Theories Debunked — Amy Eskridge's Father Says 'Nothing Suspicious'
17 April 2026, 11:15 PM BST
Amy Eskridge spent the last years of her life trying to bring gravity research into the open.
A chemist and entrepreneur with degrees from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, she co-founded the Institute for Exotic Science alongside her father — a retired NASA engineer specialising in plasma physics — with the stated mission of making speculative science accessible to the public rather than leaving it buried in classified programmes.
She died by suicide on 11 June 2022, aged 34. Four years later, her father is still fighting a different battle.
Richard Eskridge has publicly dismissed conspiracy theories linking his daughter's death to covert government research, telling NewsNation there was 'nothing suspicious' about it.
'Scientists die also, just like other people,' he said. No credible evidence has emerged to support allegations of foul play, and official accounts confirm the cause of death.
Father Rejects 'Suspicious Death' Narrative
Amy Eskridge's case has resurfaced in recent weeks as online discussions attempt to connect her death to a growing list of scientists reportedly tied to classified government work.
Despite declining formal interviews, Richard Eskridge made his position clear in comments reported by NewsNation, directly countering narratives that his daughter was targeted due to her research.
These claims had intensified after reports that she had previously expressed concerns about her safety, a detail often cited by conspiracy theorists as evidence of a broader cover-up, according to NewsNation's reporting.
His statement reinforces the official understanding of her death and stands as the most direct account available from those closest to Eskridge.
Rise of the 'Dead Scientists' Conspiracy Theory
Eskridge's name has been circulated as the eleventh in an informal list of scientists who have reportedly died or gone missing under unusual circumstances. Many individuals on this list are said to have connections to government-funded research institutions, including Los Alamos National Laboratory. Such lists, however, frequently rely on selective data and coincidence rather than verifiable links, and the individuals included often worked in high-profile scientific or defence sectors where public scrutiny is already elevated.
Political Attention Adds to Public Interest
The controversy has not remained confined to online forums. Donald Trump has acknowledged briefings related to unidentified aerial phenomena and associated claims, recently stating that he had attended a meeting on the issue and suggested further information could emerge within weeks.
Eric Burlison, a Republican congressman from Missouri, has called for greater investigation into the reported cases.
'These are some of the most advanced scientists and researchers in our nation, working on critical national security efforts, and several have mysteriously disappeared,' he said.
'This is too coincidental, and we have to be investigating this.' While such statements underscore the seriousness with which some officials view the issue, they stop short of confirming any direct connection between the cases.
Alleged Messages Surface Online Before Amy Eskridge's Death
Unverified messages attributed to Eskridge have circulated on Reddit, with users claiming they were sent approximately a month before her death and suggest she expressed fear linked to her work.
The authenticity of these messages has not been independently verified by any named authority, and no credible institution has confirmed their origin. Richard Eskridge's public statement makes no reference to them.
Separating Fact from Speculation
Despite the growing attention, the available evidence does not support claims of a coordinated pattern involving the deaths of scientists. Independent reporting and official accounts consistently indicate that Eskridge's death was not the result of foul play.
The persistence of conspiracy theories has, according to those close to the situation, added to the emotional toll on a family already navigating a significant loss. A full account of who Eskridge was and the circumstances of her death has been reported.
Richard Eskridge has not given formal interviews on the matter and has asked that his daughter's death be understood on the basis of official findings.
Congressman Burlison has not announced any formal investigation or legislation following his public statement. The White House has not confirmed any timeline for releasing further information related to the scientist deaths inquiry.

If I sent these texts to her before I died, I would expect her to disclose them to the world for the truth brought to light.

Trump reveals 'very interesting' findings in top secret government UFO files and says they'll be released 'very soon'
19:40 EDT, 17 April 2026 | Updated: 00:08 EDT, 18 April 2026
Donald Trump made a shocking revelation at a recent speaking event, abruptly announcing that he has instructed Pete Hegseth to release government UFO files.
The president headlined a Turning Point USA event on Friday at a megachurch in Phoenix, Arizona, where he defended his record in office to a slew of young conservative voters.
The event is the latest stop in the TPUSA tour across America, where top conservatives are attempting to bolster support for their party among young voters.
During his remarks, Trump boasted about his Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, revealing that the Pentagon would soon release documents relating to UFOs and 'unexplained aerial phenomena.'
'I figured this was a good crowd because you people - you're really into that. I don't know. So I'm pleased to report today, I thought I'd save it for this crowd, because you're a little bit out there, that this process is well underway,' he joked.
'We found many very interesting documents, I must say. And the first releases will begin very, very soon. So you can go out and see if that phenomena is correct. You'll figure it out. Let me know.'
The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's Task Force sent a letter to Hegseth in March, requesting video files related to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) by April 14.
The letter followed hearings by the House task force in September, where whistleblowers testified that the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), a section of the Department of War, possessed video records of UAPs.
'The lack of disclosure regarding the very real threat posed by UAPs in and around US restricted airspace is concerning,' House representatives wrote.
'The presence of UAPs in and around the sensitive airspaces of US military installations poses a threat to the security of the armed forces and their readiness.'
The letter requested over 45 video files dating back to 2019, including footage of 'cigar-shaped' and 'spherical' UAPs.
Some clips reportedly captured UAP formations near Iran and Syria, incidents near US bases and airports, and even a 2023 shootdown over Lake Huron.
1/2
A video file reportedly revealing UFOs in formation over the Persian Gulf was also requested.
Trump wrote on Truth Social in February that he would be directing Hegseth to begin identifying and releasing UFO-related files.
'Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters,' he said at the time.
Hegseth later told reporters that his department was 'digging in' to the files and would be in compliance with the president's orders.
Former President Barack Obama also hinted at classified UFO information during a podcast interview at the time.
When asked if aliens were real, he responded: 'They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in … Area 51.
'There's no underground facility unless there's this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.'
Trump blasted Obama for the remarks, telling reporters that the former president 'took it out of classified information,' adding, 'He's not supposed to be doing that.'
The Pentagon has previously investigated UFO and UAP activity. In 2022, senior defense officials at the AARO announced that they had found no evidence that aliens had ever visited Earth.
The AARO released a report in 2024, concluding that most UFO sightings were misidentified as ordinary objects and there was no evidence of extraterrestrial technology since the end of World War II.
Despite earlier reports, it seems the federal government has continued to ramp up investigations, with the federal domain aliens.gov suddenly showing signs of activity.
The site has now returned as an SSL error, a technical signal that the address may be connected to a live server but is not yet fully configured for public access.
The government has a long history of investigating UFOs. Starting in 1974, the US Air Force launched Project Blue Book, which cataloged over 12,000 UFO sightings.
The project concluded in 1969 after officials determined there was no evidence of UFOs from other planets.
US Senator Harry Reid started to take an interest in UFOs in 1995, pushing the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program in 2007.
Since then, there have been a slew of sightings investigated by federal authorities, including a near-collision off the Florida coast between Navy pilots and unidentified craft in 2014.
The White House has also announced that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into a string of missing scientists.
'In light of the recent and legitimate questions about these troubling cases, and President Trump’s commitment to the truth, the White House is actively working with all relevant agencies and the FBI to holistically review all of the cases together and identify any potential commonalities that may exist,' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the White House and the Pentagon for comment.

Death of Air Force whistleblower set to reveal UFO secrets declared 'suspicious'
15:21 EDT, 18 April 2026 | Updated: 15:21 EDT, 18 April 2026
A former US Air Force intelligence officer died before he could testify in a whistleblower hearing about UFOs, sparking demands for an FBI investigation.
Matthew James Sullivan was just 39 when he died on May 12, 2024 after reportedly taking his own life. However, his official cause of death has not been made public, nor was the case reported on by local media at the time.
Now, Congressman Eric Burlison of Missouri has told the Daily Mail that Sullivan was preparing to be a key witness for congressional investigators looking into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, more commonly known as UFOs.
Burlison shared he had 'grave concerns' that Sullivan's death appears 'suspicious,' suggesting that the veteran intelligence officer may have been targeted to silence him before revealing knowledge of non-human spacecraft and extraterrestrials.
'Look at Matthew Sullivan's credentials and his experience. He certainly was someone who was read in at the highest classification levels and knew some of our nation's most important secrets,' Burlison explained. 'And so did a lot of these other people.'
The congressman explained that an investigation by the Intelligence Community Inspector General uncovered 'serious allegations of misconduct and potentially unlawful activities' which pointed to the 39-year-old's death not being a suicide.
Burlison said: 'The fact that he had been scheduled by the UAP Task Force. That he had been scheduled to come and speak… After hearing about this tragedy, I felt it was worth looking into.'
On Thursday, he made a formal request to FBI Director Kash Patel to have agents investigate Sullivan's death as a potential crime.
'The sudden and suspicious circumstances surrounding his death raise significant concerns about potential foul play and the safety of other individuals involved in this matter,' Burlison wrote in a letter to the FBI shared with the Daily Mail.
Sullivan had been contacted by UAP whistleblower and retired US Air Force Major David Grusch prior to the intelligence officer's sudden death, which reportedly left Grusch 'extremely distraught.'
Grusch, who is now a senior advisor to Burlison, spent 14 years in the Air Force before working as an intelligence officer for the National Reconnaissance Office, which builds and lunches surveillance satellites for the Pentagon.
He eventually became a whistleblower, testifying before Congress in 2023, after allegedly learning that elements of the US government had been hiding UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering programs for decades.
'Grusch was helping him come forward as a whistleblower,' Burlison confirmed to the Daily Mail on Friday.
The congressman added that he had not spoken to Sullivan directly and did not know what information he was prepared to disclose regarding his time in the Air Force and as a Department of War contractor, working at some of the nation's most secretive bases.
Specifically, Sullivan had an extensive background tied to military intelligence and advanced technology being used by the US worldwide. He also worked for multiple groups that allegedly have decades-old ties to America's UFO secrets.
After serving as an '5th Generation aircraft intelligence chief,' Sullivan worked for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center as a deputy director at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
The Ohio complex has long been linked to the alleged retrieval of crashed alien spacecraft since the Roswell incident in 1947.
Sullivan also worked for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which has been called the Pentagon’s 'idea factory' because of its documented role in creating futuristic tech, such as the Internet, GPS and stealth technology.

'Take It Seriously': Iran Shows LA Getting Nuked, Massive EMP Strike Exploding Over America In 2028!
Apr 16, 2026
The war on Iran is not only being fought on the battlefield, reports France24 — it is also playing out online.
Iran’s state media recently took a leaf out of the White House’s own social media playbook, mocking US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with an AI-generated propaganda video styled like a LEGO animation.
The clip suggested that Trump launched the conflict to distract from scrutiny over his links to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The video quickly circulated online, highlighting how artificial intelligence is being used as a tool of political messaging and satire in modern conflicts.
Tehran’s video appears to be a direct response to the White House’s own aggressive digital strategy, which uses AI and memes to attack opponents.
In recent weeks, Washington’s official accounts have pumped out a stream of viral content about US military action in Iran — splicing real missile-strike footage with memes, pop-culture references and video-game imagery — in an effort to win the narrative battle online and flex its technological and military might.
As governments increasingly turn to shareable content to influence public opinion, distinguishing fact from manipulation becomes more challenging.
In this edition of France 24’s Truth or Fake, Vedika Bahl analyses how information warfare is unfolding across social platforms and examines the line between messaging, misinformation and digital propaganda in the Middle East war.
The most recent Lego Animation seems to foretell what is to come.
It drops a message of "Spoiler Alert"!
It shows that Israel wages a FINAL War, and that it's against America.
They show that DC and LA are both specifically targeted. They also show in the background image, the year 2028.
To top it all off, they show 1 missile coming down from space and exploding over the United Staes of America! Its a clear depiction of a coming EMP Event!
BE READY!
