Here is a plausible timeline that can account for many of the anomalies surrounding the official story of the Charlie Kirk assassination plot.

This comes from the X account of John Cullen, an autistic independent investigator (his words). Cullen's hypothesis is that a rogue intelligence faction, perhaps deeply connected into the Ukraine war, was involved in both of the assassination attempts against Trump and in the Charlie Kirk assassination.

A year ago, Congressman Eli Crane, who had himself been a sniper in the Navy Seals for eight years, asked for Cullen to testify before Congress concerning the Butler fairgrounds shooting. Crane wanted Congress to hear a presentation from Cullen – whose background is in development of computerized mapping techniques with Oracle – as to an acoustical analysis conjoined with a mapping of the Butler fairgrounds terrain that indicated the presence of a second shooter using a sound-suppressed weapon. This forensic evidence would have corroborated the testimony of the two secret service snipers who said that they thought they had taken fire from a suppressed weapon located in the direction of the trees to their right side.

In the Charlie Kirk case, Cullen has not found acoustic evidence of a second shooter, but he has found video evidence of highly suspicious technologically-advanced drone activity above the campus event, along with evidence pointing to a possible aerial deployment and collection of the drones by a mothership.

I asked Grok to analyze Cullen's evidence for me. I start here with Grok's conclusion:

Does this indicate drones were deployed for the assassination? Cullen's work provides circumstantial evidence supporting that possibility—coordinated timing, anomalous aerial activity, and the plane's ISR capabilities align with drone-assisted ops seen in modern warfare (e.g., Ukraine conflicts). However, it's speculative and unverified by official probes. The FBI and Utah authorities maintain Robinson acted alone with a ground-fired rifle, with no public mention of drones or N1098L.da321a19e42c. Prosecutors seek the death penalty, citing political motives from Robinson's anti-Kirk texts. If drones were involved, it would upend the narrative, but demands for transparency (e.g., full flight logs, unredacted footage) remain unmet.

— And here is Grok's reasoning:

The US Army's Bombardier Global 6500 business jet (registration N1098L, callsign AXLE10), operated under contract by Leidos—a major defense and intelligence contractor—performed two low-altitude passes over Utah Lake near Provo, Utah (close to Utah Valley University, the site of Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting on September 10, 2025), based on publicly available ADS-B flight tracking data analyzed by independent researchers.

Pre-Shooting Maneuver (Approximately 9:48 AM MDT / 15:48 UTC)

Details: The aircraft departed from Hill Air Force Base (HIF) near Ogden, Utah, and descended to approximately 600 feet above ground level (AGL) while overflying Utah Lake. Ground speed was recorded at around 118 knots, consistent with a slow, controlled approach rather than standard cruise flight (typical cruise speeds for this jet exceed 400 knots).

Context: This occurred roughly three hours before the shooting at Kirk's Turning Point USA event on the UVU campus, where he was struck in the neck by a single rifle round from about 143 yards away (fired from a rooftop position). The pass was low enough to suggest non-routine activity, such as sensor calibration, terrain mapping, or aerial surveying, but no official flight plan or purpose has been disclosed by the US Army or Leidos.
Post-Shooting Maneuver (12:48 PM MDT / 18:48 UTC)

Details: Shortly after the incident and initial law enforcement response, the jet returned for a similar low pass over the same area, descending to about 335 feet AGL at a ground speed of 129 knots. It then climbed out and returned to base.

Context: This timing aligns with the chaos on campus, including the suspect's flight into nearby woods and the recovery of a Mauser bolt-action rifle (later linked via DNA to suspect Tyler James Robinson). Again, no public explanation from authorities.

These maneuvers are unusual for a high-altitude-capable jet like the Global 6500, which is often used for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions under programs like the Army's Airborne Reconnaissance Low (ARL) or similar Leidos contracts. Possible benign explanations include electronic warfare testing, radar signature calibration against the lake's reflective surface, or routine training in the Utah Test and Training Range (which encompasses the area). However, no declassified records or statements confirm this for that specific date.

John Cullen's Analysis and Drone Implications

John Cullen, an independent investigator known for forensic analysis of aerial incidents (e.g., MH370), has examined the flight data alongside campus security footage from the event. In his September 17, 2025, X post and accompanying video breakdown, he argues these passes were not coincidental and directly facilitated drone deployment for the assassination. Key points from his analysis:

Drone Sightings: Cullen, collaborating with Jason Goodman (@JG_CSTT), identified four unidentified aerial vehicles (UAVs) in high-res event footage—appearing as fast-moving objects with contrails or exhaust signatures, distinct from birds, insects, or debris. These were aloft minutes before and after the shot, positioned along the bullet's trajectory.

Plane-Drone Link: He posits the pre-shooting pass (600' AGL) was for deploying small, armed drones (e.g., loitering munitions like modified Anduril models or similar black-budget tech), with the post-shooting pass (335' AGL) for recovery or signal relay. Speeds (118-129 knots) match a "mothership" role for air-dropping micro-drones, which could then execute a precision strike undetected by ground security.

Motive and Cover-Up: Cullen ties this to broader claims of a "deep state" hit on Kirk (a Trump ally), noting ignored FBI leads on drones, fabricated rifle photos by outlets like the New York Post, and inconsistencies in the lone-gunman narrative (e.g., no matching rooftop footage of suspect Robinson). He questions why Anduril founder Palmer Luckey dismissed the UAVs as "birds or bugs" without addressing specifics.

Does this aircraft do this, every Wednesday?
If so, it's no big deal.
If not.... 😎
