Ukrainian drones attack Russia's Rostov Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, allegedly targeting oil depots
September 24, 2026 7:48 pm
Ukrainian drones allegedly targeted oil depots in Russia's Rostov Oblast and Krasnodar Krai overnight on Sept. 24, according to local authorities.
Russia's Defense Ministry claimed that Russian air defenses intercepted and destroyed 40 Ukrainian drones over several Russian regions, including Rostov Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, and occupied Crimea, overnight on Sept. 24.
Rostov Oblast Governor Yury Slyusar claimed Russian air defenses intercepted Ukrainian drones over Taganrog and the Kagalnitsky and Neklinovsky districts.
According to Slyusar, falling drone debris damaged administrative buildings at an oil depot in Kagalnitsky district, but there were no casualties or fire.
Additionally, Ukrainian Telegram channel Exilenova+ said on Sept. 24 that an oil depot in the settlement of Novotitarovskaya in neighboring Krasnodar Krai also caught fire following a drone attack.
Russian state-controlled media TASS claimed that a fire broke out on the premises of "a facility" after debris from a drone fell in the Dinsky district of Krasnodar Krai. No injuries were reported.
Ukraine has not commented on the strikes, and the Kyiv Independent could not independently verify the claims.
Rostov Oblast is a region in southern Russia that borders eastern Ukraine, with parts of the oblast located less than 100 kilometers (60 miles) from the front line of the ongoing war.
The region has become a key logistical and military hub for Russian operations in Ukraine, housing supply routes, military bases, and fuel infrastructure.
Rostov Oblast has been repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian drone attacks since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.

Sudan’s RSF steps up deadly drone attacks on frontline cities
Updated 24 September 2026 05:31
KHARTOUM: Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces have intensified deadly drone attacks in government-held towns in the frontline state of North Kordofan, disrupting normal life and causing a deep sense of insecurity, residents say.
Reuters filmed the aftermath of major attacks that took place this month in two frontline cities, which residents described as part of an apparent new campaign of such strikes after several weeks when the RSF appeared to have scaled them back under international pressure.
The RSF did not respond to a request for comment but has said it does not intentionally target civilians.
Drones have increasingly become the weapon of choice in Sudan’s three-and-a-half-year-old civil war, with both the RSF and their foes, the Sudanese army, deploying the latest technologies used in other war zones such as Ukraine.
The UN says drone attacks by both sides killed more than 1,000 civilians in the first half of this year.
On September 8, a drone hit a crowded courtroom in the government-held town of Um Ruwaba in North Kordofan, a state in central Sudan that is now one of the war’s main front lines.
Some 10 people were killed and dozens injured, according to Emergency Lawyers, a human rights monitor. When Reuters reached the site, the entire facade had been blown out, with columns at the front of one of the city’s most prominent buildings blasted apart.
A day later, a drone struck a college in Al-Obeid, the state capital, blasting off the roof. The dean, Abdel Aziz Al-Sheikh, standing amid the damage as workers cleared away rubble, said a security guard had been killed and eight classrooms damaged.
“As you can see, the entire faculty is destroyed and we feel that our dreams are destroyed, our future is destroyed,” said Omnia Aboul Gassim, a student who had taken her exams at the college in Al-Obeid the day before it was struck, standing by the ruins.
At a hospital in Um Ruwaba, Salah Bakheit, whose arm had been smashed and body pockmarked by shrapnel in the attack on the courthouse, said he had come to that city in search of shelter after fleeing Al-Obeid, which the RSF had bombarded with drones for months earlier this year in an attempted siege.
“Once I heard the sound of the blast, I knew it was a strategic drone,” he said. “I have been living with drones of all types, strategic drones and suicide drones. I can distinguish between them.”

Yemeni government forces repel overnight Houthi assault on critical Hejat al-Abd supply route
Seizing parts of the Taiz-Aden road could allow the Houthis to tighten their grip around Taiz and deal another blow to the government, which has struggled to regain the initiative.
Yemen's Saudi-backed government forces repelled overnight attacks by the Iran-backed Houthis on a key supply route to the southern port city of Aden, where the internationally recognized administration is based, government sources said on Thursday.
The steep, winding mountain pass, known as Hejat al-Abd, is a lifeline for forces fighting on behalf of Yemen's government, which has been hemmed in by a lightning Houthi advance this month linked to the Iran war.
The road is also critical for goods entering Taiz, Yemen's third-largest city, and its southern and western rural areas. It is the only route for residents seeking to travel abroad, with no commercial flights operating from Houthi-controlled areas.

REP. BOEBERT: DRONES ARE BRINGING THE SURVEILLANCE STATE TO YOUR FRONT DOOR
September 24, 2026
LONE TREE, CO — Rep. Lauren Boebert (CO-04) warned that government drone programs are expanding without a public inventory, without sufficient Fourth Amendment protections, and with too many Chinese drones and parts still in the fleet.
“Not one piece of hardware or software from the People’s Republic of China belongs on a police or federal drone in the United States,” Rep. Boebert wrote. “Not the chip, camera, battery, flight controller, app, firmware, or cloud login. American first responders deserve American supply chains.”
“Until recently,” she noted, “most drones sold to police departments were made in China.” Even if new sales slow, fleets of Chinese drones remain deployed, and efforts continue to keep Chinese components, software, and supply chains in the fleet.
“The United States government has no official public count of how many drones law enforcement agencies own and fly,” Rep. Boebert wrote.
“Congress should not have to take its numbers from corporate earnings calls about how many aircraft are already circling overhead.” Rep. Boebert wrote that all drones across the United States should be registered within 30 days of operational deployment.
Rep. Boebert wrote that federal tax dollars should go to real emergencies, including search and rescue, wrecks, officer safety, and barricaded suspects, rather than persistent aerial patrols above American homes.
“‘Drone as first responder’ is not a substitute for a warrant,” she wrote. “Persistent neighborhood surveillance is a general warrant from the sky, and a microphone on a drone is an intercept.”
She wrote that listening should require the same legal process as a Title III wiretap, with no fishing expeditions, audit logs, and short retention.
“I stand with law enforcement. I stand even more firmly with the Constitution,” Rep. Boebert wrote. “We can give first responders the tools they need without surrendering the right of free Americans to live unmonitored lives.
Protecting individual privacy is essential if freedom is to mean anything for the next generation.”

Lowe's Becomes First Home Improvement Retailer to Offer Drone Delivery
Sep 24, 2026, 08:00 ET
Lowe's pilots new fulfillment method in home market of Charlotte, N.C., delivering project essentials to customers in as fast as 20 minutes
Products can be ordered through the DoorDash app and delivered via Wing drones
Lowe's today announced the launch of drone delivery, the newest fulfillment method for the retailer that delivers select home improvement items directly to DIY and Pro customers in as fast as 20 minutes.
This pilot is now live at Lowe's store in Matthews, N.C., and adds to same-day fulfillment options for customers, including buy online, pick up in store; curbside pickup and same-day delivery.
The launch builds on Wing and DoorDash's existing drone delivery operations in the Charlotte area, adding Lowe's to the growing list of brands now available for delivery via drone.
Home improvement projects rarely go exactly as planned. Whether halfway through a paint project, tackling a weekend repair, or working on a jobsite, forgotten supplies can stall momentum by requiring a trip to the store.
As part of Lowe's mission to solve problems and fulfill dreams for the home, the retailer is expanding its same-day delivery speed through drone delivery in partnership with Wing and DoorDash.
The initial pilot spans a curated list of eligible products, including hand tools and paint products, plus everyday household items such as soap, tape, all-purpose cleaner and batteries – products that are easily forgotten yet critical to finishing any home improvement task.
"At Lowe's, our mission is to solve problems and fulfill dreams for the home. To achieve this mission, we're removing friction from home improvement and making it easier for customers to enjoy their home.
Any technology we implement is designed to eliminate that friction so our customers can complete their projects quickly," said Seemantini Godbole, chief information and AI officer at Lowe's.
"By piloting drone delivery, we're addressing a real project pain point with an innovative solution that is integrated into the retail journey, giving our hometown customers next-generation fulfillment right when they need it."
How it works:
Check eligibility: Open the DoorDash app. Drone delivery will automatically display as an option if the delivery address is eligible near the Matthews, N.C. Lowe's store.
Order: Select the dedicated "Lowe's by Drone" storefront in the DoorDash app.
Shop: Simply fill your cart with eligible items and check out as usual. Wing drones currently transport orders weighing approximately 2.5 pounds per flight, delivering fast last-minute supplies to your home in minutes.
Lowe's drone delivery pilot builds on the company's broader efforts to use technology in ways that transform how customers shop, and how Lowe's associates sell and work.
Recent innovations include Mylow, Lowe's AI assistant for customers, and Mylow Companion, its AI-powered assistant for store associates, which together have helped answer more than 25 million questions since launching in 2025.

Report: Suspected Site of Noah's Ark '100 Percent Confirmed' to Be a 'Manmade Object'
September 24, 2026 at 11:50am
A new report says that the group of researchers hoping to find the remains of Noah’s Ark beneath a Turkish rock formation have found initial evidence that the site has more than rock beneath the surface.
According to the Daily Mail, the researchers have “100 percent confirmed” that the Durupinar Formation near Mount Ararat is a “man-made object.”
The report said scans prior to drilling showed “structural layers, straight lines, right-angle intersections and large cavity-like spaces at multiple depths.”
Drilling found one underground layer contained organic material, which is being tested to determine if it could have decayed wood in it

— Daily Mail (@DailyMail) September 23, 2026
Andrew Jones, the founder of Noah’s Ark Scans, said neither limestone nor solid bedrock were detected.
“This destroys the theory the site is a solid limestone block shaped into a boat by glaciers and weathering after coming down the mountainside, and it also refutes the theory that this is bedrock around which mud flowed to form the shape,” he said.
Jones said it was too early to claim he has found evidence the ark is buried there. But said, “I firmly believe the Durupinar Formation represents the buried remains of Noah’s Ark.”
He called the latest finds a “compelling new line of evidence.”
THEY DRILLED INTO THE HILL BY MOUNT ARARAT.
For decades the experts rolled their eyes at the idea that the Durupınar formation could be Noah’s Ark. Same length the Bible describes. Anchor stones nearby.

— Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) September 23, 2026
The Durupinar formation, a 515-foot-long, boat-shaped geological feature near the border ot Turkey and Iran, was first identified in aerial photographs in 1959 and has been the focus on research related to the ark for years.
Researchers plan to collect core samples from the formation, while a drone called GOPHER is expected to examine its interior later this week.
Jones has been touting the site as the resting place of the ark for some time.
“We have a shape of a ship, and then you look at the size of it … exactly 300 royal Egyptian cubits,” Jones told NewsNation last year “That’s what Moses wrote in the book of Genesis.”
This hunt for the ark has skeptics as well as supporters.
A rebuttal to this can be found in a 2025 article for Answers in Genesis. Ken Ham argued that the evidence being publicized does not establish that the formation is Noah’s vessel.
Ham cited geologist Andrew Snelling, who has studied the site for decades and argued that the features seen in geophysical scans could have natural explanations.

UFO SIGHTING? Mysterious orb caught on video flying over Los Angeles in traffic broadcast
07:09, 24 Sep 2026
A LIVE traffic broadcast quickly turned into a on-air UFO sighting when a spherical object was filmed flying over a California highway.
The bizarre moment was captured earlier this month as a chopper for Fox 11 news filmed a freeway in Los Angeles as rush hour traffic steadily flowed below.
Many of the drivers will have been entirely oblivious to the unusual orb soaring above them.
However, the camera operator in the helicopter did spot it and zoomed in to follow its trajectory.
The round object moved in a continuous straight line over the highway, traveling at quite a speed.
It appears to be the size of a basketball and dark in color.
The footage which was shared on Tuesday and has been viewed by millions has sparked a wide number of theories from some saying it is just a balloon to others saying it was a UFO in flight.
“Literally just a foil balloon, played with them a bunch as a kid,” one wrote on social media.
“I’m sceptical, but it doesn’t move like a balloon in the wind. It’s flying in a straight line,” another viewer said.
“Balloon crowd is going to have a hard time with this one. That path is too straight,” a third said.
“Wind doesn’t fly a sphere across LA in a clean line with no wobble. Whatever it is, it isn’t just floating.”
“It has no wings, no engine, how is it flying on its own like that ??? Anyone know??” another viewer asked.
Some even compared it to the so-called Buga Sphere, a metal ball covered in mysterious writing that was found in Colombia.
Meanwhile, other viewers attempted to quash the UFO conspiracies, saying that the object was most likely a drone with retailers increasing their airborne delivery networks in the city.
California is the number one state for UFO sightings, per Enigma, a crowd sourced platform where people can log what they see.
Over 5,240 first-hand sightings in the Golden State have been logged on the platform, with these soaring to a total of almost 30,000 since 1901 when third-party sources are included.
Spherical objects are among the top reported shapes, Enigma notes.
This most recent mystery comes just days after The Pentagon released six different batches of files relating to UFO sightings including never-before-seen footage allegedly showing silent, flashing red and green orbs swarming the sky above a military site.
President Donald Trump first called on the Department of War to release more UFO files in February.
“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),” Trump said on TruthSocial.
“And any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
The Department of War stated that the current files released are considered “unresolved cases.”
“Meaning the government is unable to make a definitive determination on the nature of the observed phenomena,” the Department of War said.
“Under this Administration, we will pursue the truth and share our findings with the American people.”

UAP whistleblower makes stunning claim about secrets behind government’s recovered craft
September 24, 2026 10:28am EDT
Dylan Borland, Ben Hansen joined the 'Hang Out with Sean Hannity' podcast to discuss alleged UAP coverups
A UAP whistleblower is making an extraordinary claim about what the U.S. government is keeping behind closed doors, saying the government is in possession of recovered craft.
"Does the government have craft that have been recovered? Yes they do," Dylan Borland said on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast.
Borland made the assertion in the latest episode of the show, where he joined television host Ben Hansen to discuss what whistleblowers say they know about the government's handling of UAP and allegedly recovered craft.
Hannity pressed Borland directly on whether he knew "for a fact" that the government possessed such craft, and whether restrictions surrounding his work would allow him to answer the question publicly.
He responded: "Yes." His claim comes after a group of UAP whistleblowers called on President Donald Trump to waive nondisclosure agreements they say prevent them from fully disclosing what they know to the American public.
During the conversation, Hannity also pointed to individuals he had spoken with previously who said they had knowledge of recovered craft.
He asked Borland whether he knew people who had made similar assertions. "Probably, yes," Borland responded.
Hannity also discussed claims from individuals who say they faced intimidation, workplace harassment and threats after coming forward with UAP-related information. Borland appeared to affirm those accounts during the interview.
Hannity has held previous podcast discussions about UAPs, including one conversation with Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., and Luis Elizondo about alleged Pentagon UAP cover-ups, exotic materials, destroyed pilot data and more.

Mysterious radio signal coming from planet outside Solar System for first time
September 24, 2026
Astronomers detected radio emission from Beta Pictoris b using South Africa's MeerKAT array. The finding gives scientists a direct way to estimate an exoplanet's magnetic field.
Astronomers have detected a mysterious radio signal coming directly from a planet outside our Solar System for the first time, offering scientists a new way to measure the magnetic field of a distant world.
The signal was detected from Beta Pictoris b, a giant exoplanet located about 63 light-years from Earth, using the MeerKAT radio telescope array in South Africa.
Researchers identified rapidly repeating bursts as well as persistent radio emission at frequencies ranging from 0.85 to 3.5 gigahertz.
The study, which reports the first direct detection of auroral radio emission from an exoplanet, provides the first direct measurement of an exoplanetary magnetic field.
The researchers believe the radio emission is produced by a process known as electron cyclotron maser instability, or ECMI. It occurs when energetic electrons interact with a planet's magnetic field and generate intense, organised radio waves.
On Earth and other planets in the Solar System, similar processes are associated with auroras. The researchers therefore interpret the radio bursts from Beta Pictoris b as evidence of an auroral process occurring on the distant planet.
The frequency of the radio emission also provides a crucial clue about the strength of the magnetic field. Based on the highest-frequency emission detected, the researchers estimate that Beta Pictoris b has a magnetic field of at least 1.25 kilogauss, or about 1,250 gauss.
A planet's magnetic field is generated by processes deep inside it and can influence how its atmosphere interacts with radiation and charged particles from its host star.
Measuring the field can therefore provide clues about the planet's interior, evolution and interaction with stellar winds. Auroral radio emissions have previously been observed from planets in our Solar System and from some ultracool dwarfs.
However, astronomers had not previously been able to unambiguously localise such emission to an exoplanet rather than its host star. That localisation is what makes the new observation significant.
The researchers say the detection opens a new avenue for studying magnetic fields on worlds beyond the Solar System. Rather than observing an exoplanet's magnetic field directly, astronomers can potentially use its radio aurora as a natural signal revealing the field's strength.
For Beta Pictoris b, the detection effectively allows astronomers to “listen” to its magnetic environment from 63 light-years away, providing a new window into the physics of distant planetary systems.

Story of Former Pentagon Official Who Led U.S Government’s UAP Investigations Is Coming to Television
September 24, 2026
The Sopranos writer and Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter will be teaming up with filmmaker and producer Dan Farah for the development of a new television series based on the former U.S. intelligence official who led the U.S. government’s investigations into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
The series will be based on the forthcoming memoir Out of the Shadows, which offers a candid look at the career of Jay Stratton, the former official who led the U.S. government’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF).
Stratton’s book, scheduled for publication in October by William Morrow, recounts his involvement with official investigations of UAP, the military’s term for what historically are known as unidentified flying objects or UFOs, and the bureaucratic hurdles he encountered while leading government efforts to resolve their nature and origin.
Winter will serve as an executive producer for the screen adaptation through Cold Front Productions, and Farah will also be an executive producer under Farah Films, according to Variety.
Farah previously directed the documentary film The Age of Disclosure, which brought together more than thirty current and former U.S. officials who spoke on the record about the UAP issue, potential national security related to the phenomenon, and ongoing efforts to secure the release of information about it, which are believed to remain in the U.S. government’s possession.
Farah also produced the documentary film The Phenomenon by director James Fox.
Along with the secretive world of U.S. government investigations into UAP, the forthcoming series will deal with the unusual intersection between Stratton’s classified work and his life at home, as detailed in his forthcoming memoir, where he describes how his family also reportedly experienced unusual events while he served in government.
Winter described Stratton’s story and the plans for a forthcoming series as a journey into the lesser-known world of U.S. government and UAP investigations.
Farah compared the material to a high-stakes political thriller, with a central mystery that is accompanied by the personal toll placed on Stratton and his family, and lingering questions about the existence of non-human intelligence.
Winter brings considerable experience to the project, with past work that includes serving as writer and executive producer on The Sopranos before going on to create HBO’s hit series Boardwalk Empire.
Winter is also the recipient of an Academy Award nomination for his screenplay adaptation of The Wolf of Wall Street.
Presently, details about the cast, release date, and potential networks and streaming platforms that may carry the program have not yet been announced. Stratton’s book, Out of the Shadows, will be released on October 13, 2026.

Mysterious red lights seen over Russian town, UFO hunters claim

Three UFO enthusiasts say they observed several bright red objects moving across the sky over Uglich in Russia’s Yaroslavl region for about 25 minutes, according to SHOT.
The observers said the objects repeatedly changed direction, appeared to hover in place and then suddenly moved off again. At one point, they allegedly formed a parallel line before beginning to rotate.
The three enthusiasts, who describe themselves as “cosmoboys” and actively search for what they believe could be unidentified flying objects, also photographed the phenomenon.
After processing one of the images, they said they identified an elongated, oval-shaped silhouette resembling the classic depiction of a flying saucer. The shape was reportedly not visible in the original photograph and appeared only after the image had been digitally processed.
The observers said the objects made no detectable sound during the sighting. They also noted that dogs in nearby courtyards were barking throughout the roughly 25-minute observation period, which the UFO hunters interpreted as a possible additional indication of something unusual.
The enthusiasts said they checked flight-tracking applications and found no aircraft, International Space Station passes or known satellites over Uglich at the time of the sighting.
The observations and the alleged UFO shape have not been independently verified, and the account does not establish that the objects were of extraterrestrial origin.

Neat.
I saw a couple weird things like that too when the Jersey drones were peaking.
I saw 3 that were dancing around like weightless fireballs, and a nice red glowing one that did a loop and took off.

Navy Releases Massive Cache of Scott Bray UAP Emails After Four Years; More Than 300 Pages Withheld in Full
September 24, 2026
The Department of the Navy has released more than 1,300 pages of emails and related records involving former Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott W. Bray, opening a broad window into government communications surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena during a pivotal period in the Pentagon’s modern UAP effort.
The records were obtained by The Black Vault through a Freedom of Information Act request filed on May 24, 2022.
The request sought emails sent to, from, copied to or blind-copied to Bray containing terms including “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,” “UAP,” “UAPTF,” “UFO,” “AATIP,” “AAWSAP” and several related phrases.
More than four years later, the Navy responded on September 23, 2026. According to its response, the search located 1,321 pages of responsive records.
The Navy withheld 302 pages in their entirety, while releasing the remaining 1,019 pages with redactions under several FOIA exemptions.
Who Was Scott Bray?
Bray served as Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence and Director of the Naval Intelligence Activity during much of the period covered by the records.
His position placed him within a network of Navy, Defense Department and Intelligence Community officials dealing with UAP reporting, briefings, congressional interest and the development of what ultimately became the Navy-led Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force.
One email in the release described the relationship directly, stating that John “Jay” Stratton “leads the UAP Task Force effort for Navy… working directly for Scott Bray, our Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence.”
Bray later became one of the government’s most visible officials on the UAP issue.
On May 17, 2022, he appeared with Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie before a House Intelligence subcommittee during a public congressional hearing devoted to UAP. The hearing was followed by a classified session.
The newly released records provide a much larger documentary backdrop to that public role.

A Broad Look Behind the Government’s UAP Effort
The correspondence stretches across years and includes exchanges involving Stratton, Defense Intelligence official Neill Tipton, senior Navy officials, admirals, Pentagon public-affairs personnel and other Defense and Intelligence Community officials.
For example, a March 2020 exchange shows Tipton, who was then identified in his signature block as Director of Defense Intelligence, Collection and Special Programs in OUSD(I&S), telling Bray that he had a document “relevant to our discussion the other day” that he preferred to deliver in hard copy. Other correspondence concerning a planned Senate Select Committee on Intelligence briefing includes Bray, Stratton, Tipton and Rear Adm. Kelly Aeschbach.
Elsewhere, the records show Stratton discussing proposed public language concerning the UAP effort and whether it should be reviewed by Bray before being sent forward.
Other email traffic includes Vice Adm. Matthew Kohler, Rear Adm. Charles Brown and Rear Adm. Paula Dunn in communications surrounding the April 2020 public release of the Navy UAP videos.
Those are only examples of the names and subjects contained in the collection.
The release includes communications surrounding congressional briefings, public-affairs strategy, the UAP Task Force, the 2021 ODNI UAP assessment, media inquiries, FOIA releases, classification questions, senior-level briefings and the government’s evolving organizational response to UAP.
There are also extensive attachments, forwarded news coverage and discussions of claims being made publicly about UAP.
Their inclusion in Bray’s email records does not establish that the Navy or Bray endorsed those claims; in many instances, the records simply document what officials were receiving, discussing or preparing to address.
A Large Record With Significant Gaps
The release should not be viewed as a complete history of Bray’s involvement with UAP or of the UAP Task Force itself.
The FOIA request was constructed around specific search terms, and the Navy withheld 302 responsive pages completely. Redactions also appear throughout the pages that were released.
What remains is nevertheless an unusually large collection of contemporaneous correspondence from inside the Navy and Defense Department during the years in which the modern UAP issue was developing into a formal, highly visible government effort.
Given the size of the release and the number of separate subjects contained within it, individual email chains and issues may warrant separate examination. The complete released collection is being made available through The Black Vault for independent review.
