A radar anomaly detected over Central Alabama at 3:48 PM on June 26, 2025, drew attention after coinciding with military operations at Redstone Arsenal. Images of black smoke from the military base raised questions about possible connections, though details remain sparse.
The anomaly spanned thousands of square miles and lasted roughly 20 minutes. Witnesses described a peculiar radar signature, with some suggesting it wasnโt a glitch but a genuine phenomenon.
"It doesnโt look very glitchy; you can see it build up quickly," one observer noted.
Notably, this incident marks only the third smoke alert in 2025 from Redstone Arsenal, a trend that typically does not produce large smoke plumes. "They do tons of daily testing, but most doesnโt generate visible smoke," remarked a commentator on a user board.
Some experts indicated that the radar went offline and returned with a different reading shortly before the anomaly was detected. A forum member argued, "The radar went offline for 15 minutes when it came back, it was a very colorful blob."
This claim suggests a technical issue rather than a military operation. Meanwhile, others speculate on various potential influences, from meteorological conditions to military testing modes. One comment highlighted: "If you go to the exact middle of that anomaly, I guarantee youโll find Doppler radar."
The incident stirred a mix of concern and skepticism in the community. Many feel a deeper investigation is warranted:
โFor your safety, remain indoors. Do not look at the night sky.โ
โSomebody should investigate; this doesnโt just happen.โ
Discussions focused on three main themes:
Technical Issues with Radar: Users pointed towards a possible malfunction, noting the radarโs pattern continued around the clock with consistent errors.
Connections to Military Activities: The timing of the anomaly and the smoke from Redstone Arsenal suggest a potential link, raising questions about transparency.
Historical Comparisons: Echoes of previous incidents evoke local fears of undisclosed military testing that could impact civilian life.
๐จโ๐ง Reports indicate this is only the third smoke alert in 2025 involving significant plumes.
๐ญ Confirmed radar downtime approximately 15 minutes before the anomaly's appearance raises questions.
โ ๏ธ Many locals feel military testing could be at play, citing similar past events.
Uncertainty prevails as officials remain silent regarding the phenomena. With community skepticism growing, will we see any official response to clarify these events?
Stay tuned as this story develops.
