Anons and Patriots of The Great Awakening,
It has been 8 years and 13 days since the ballistics missile alert in Hawaii back in 2018. What follows is a retrospective post for Anons both new and old. It serves as both a refresher on Q history, as well as an analysis on the happenings aboard AF1 tonight.
On January 13, 2018, the Hawaii ballistic missile alert terrified millions with the message: "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL."
Officially, it was chalked up to "human error" during a drill; a worker clicked the wrong button amid heightened tensions with North Korea. But Q drops from July 2018 (and a 2020 callback) expose a far more sinister narrative: an unauthorized missile launch, intercepted by U.S. forces, tied to POTUS on Air Force One, with a rapid cover-up and zero MSM investigation.
Fast-forward to January 20, 2026: Air Force One, carrying President Trump to Davos for the World Economic Forum, abruptly turns around over the Atlantic after a reported "minor electrical issue" (cabin lights flickering / out in the press area). The plane returns safely to Joint Base Andrews at 11:07 PM ET, POTUS switches to a backup aircraft, and the trip continues; no emergency declared, no assistance needed. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the precautionary return "out of an abundance of caution." Reporters onboard witnessed the lights issue firsthand, yet the explanation remains vague and unchallenged.
UNAUTHORIZED MISSILE FIRED
On July 27, 2018, Q posted a striking image of a missile trail and declared an unauthorized missile was fired, triggering the Hawaii alert while POTUS was airborne on AF1, which was rerouted immediately. Q hammered the "coincidence" and the MSM's total silence; no investigations, no follow-up. In reality, the alert lasted 38 minutes before correction, causing widespread panic (people hiding in manholes, calling loved ones). Official story: a drill gone wrong due to a worker confusing live and exercise modes. But Q frames it as a genuine threat attempt.
38 Minutes, Anons . . .
What is Q Post 38, you may ask?
Four carriers & escorts in the pacific?
The calm before the storm.
Remember Anons,
NO COINCIDENCES!
F-16S INTERCEPT
Q confirmed the missile was intercepted by F-16s and destroyed mid-air before it could reach land. No debris fell, no public spectacle occurred; just a quiet, precise neutralization. The Hawaii alert served as the visible warning, but the real action took place off-stage, out of sight of civilians.
This drop highlights the significance of such an intercept: it demonstrates that the U.S. military possesses the capability; and the readiness; to neutralize airborne threats in real time, even when they involve ballistic or cruise missiles. The F-16s involved were almost certainly equipped with specialized air-to-air missiles and targeting systems optimized for high-speed intercepts, operating under classified rules of engagement.
The quiet nature of the engagement is key. No explosions visible from shore, no wreckage to recover, no international incident declared. This level of precision and discretion is only possible with advanced, classified technology and highly trained pilots executing flawless coordination; likely involving AWACS support, ground radar, and possibly satellite guidance.
In the context of protecting POTUS on Air Force One, this intercept underscores a broader truth: when existential threats emerge, elite military assets are deployed swiftly and silently. The same principle applies to the 2026 incident. While no public intercept was reported, the seamless, controlled return of AF1 to Andrews; without emergency services or visible panic; suggests any potential threat was identified early and neutralized behind the scenes, preserving operational security and avoiding escalation.
The F-16 intercept in 2018 is not an isolated feat; it is evidence of the layered, classified defenses that exist to safeguard the President. When those defenses are activated, the public sees only the aftermath: a "technical" issue, a precautionary landing, and a continuation of the mission. The real story remains classified, just as it was in Hawaii.
SPECIALIZED WEAPONS PACKAGE. CLAS-5.
Q revealed that the F-16s used a specialized weapons package (CLAS-5 classified level) to intercept the missile; advanced, non-standard technology reserved for the most extreme high-threat scenarios, such as ballistic missile defense.
This drop underscores that the U.S. military possesses highly classified, cutting-edge capabilities far beyond what is publicly acknowledged; tools deployed only when the threat is existential.
Air Force One in 2026 is the pinnacle of that same philosophy: a flying fortress equipped with the planet's most advanced defensive systems. The current VC-25A (two heavily modified Boeing 747-200Bs) features:
EMP hardening; Full shielding against electromagnetic pulse attacks, ensuring critical systems remain operational even after a nuclear or directed-energy strike.
Electronic warfare suites; Sophisticated jamming, spoofing, and countermeasure systems capable of disrupting radar, missiles, and cyber intrusions in real time.
Infrared and missile warning receivers; Advanced sensors that detect incoming threats (heat-seeking or radar-guided) and automatically deploy flares, chaff, or directed-energy countermeasures.
Redundant and hardened systems; Triple-redundant flight controls, communications, and power systems designed to withstand battle damage or sabotage. Multiple independent power buses mean a single failure (even major) rarely cascades.
Classified defensive packages; While details remain secret, experts widely believe AF1 includes directed-energy weapons, laser-based countermeasures, and possibly kinetic interceptors for close-in threats; technologies at or beyond CLAS-5 level.
A sudden "electrical" glitch; such as lights flickering or brief power fluctuations; could easily mask the activation of these defenses. In a real threat scenario, the crew might trigger electronic countermeasures, surge protectors, or isolation protocols to neutralize cyber / EMP interference, pre-planted sabotage, or an incoming projectile.
The result: a momentary power anomaly that looks innocuous to outsiders while the real action (defense activation) happens behind the curtain.
Maintaining strict OPSEC is paramount. Admitting a genuine threat would compromise future missions, alert adversaries to capabilities, and create unnecessary panic. Instead, the "minor electrical issue" provides perfect cove; plausible enough to explain the turnaround, vague enough to avoid scrutiny, and routine enough to be forgotten quickly.
This is the same logic as the CLAS-5 package in 2018: the most advanced tech exists precisely to protect POTUS from unseen threats, and when it's used, the public is never told the full story.
CLAS REMOVAL WASH MINUTES AFTER
Q stressed that the unauthorized launch bypassed the strict Chain of Command (CoC) protocols required for any legitimate missile action. This alone indicates rogue or deep-state elements operating outside official channels.
Even more telling: classified materials (CLAS) were removed from Washington minutes after the event. This rapid extraction and relocation of sensitive documents or equipment points to an immediate, high-level cleanup operation; designed to erase any trace of involvement, authorization, or evidence that could link the incident back to insiders.
The speed and precision of this "wash" suggest pre-planned contingency measures: secure transport, compartmentalized handling, and strict need-to-know protocols to prevent leaks or investigations. In other words, the system was already prepared to cover its tracks.
This drop exposes how threats at the highest levels are not only executed covertly but also scrubbed from the record almost instantly. The 2026 Air Force One incident follows a similar logic: a sudden disruption, a vague "minor electrical issue" explanation, a seamless return and plane switch, and no lingering questions or probes. Any evidence of tampering, cyber intrusion, or sabotage would have been contained and removed before the public even registered the event.
The pattern is clear; when the stakes involve POTUS, cleanup is swift, classified, and absolute. The truth is protected by the same mechanisms that neutralize the threat itself.
EVERYTHING STATED HAS A PURPOSE.
Q emphasized that the Hawaii drop had a specific purpose; a deliberate marker to alert Anons to the recurring pattern of threats being downplayed as accidents or minor glitches. The 2018 event was highlighted not just to expose one incident, but to train Anons to recognize when similar operations occur in the future.
The 2026 Air Force One turnaround fits this marker precisely. President Trump is heading to Davos; the epicenter of globalist power; amid his bold challenges: threats to acquire Greenland, aggressive tariff proposals, and direct confrontations with the WEF and NATO establishment. The timing is no accident.
The official story remains deliberately bland: a "minor electrical issue" with cabin lights flickering. No emergency declared, seamless return to Andrews, quick switch to backup aircraft, and the trip continues without fanfare. The lack of scrutiny, the routine framing, and the perfect alignment with a high-threat destination echo Q's reminder exactly.
Everything stated has a purpose. This is another chapter in the silent war; threats intercepted quietly, truth cloaked in technical excuses, public kept in the dark. Q's 2018 marker is active today.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN THEY TOLD YOU THIS WAS A HELICOPTER?
Nearly two years later, Q reposted the missile-trail image and asked: “Do you remember when they told you this was a helicopter?” The MSM dismissed the visual evidence as a benign object (helicopter, weather balloon, or lens flare) to bury the truth.
This is standard MSM procedure: when threats to POTUS emerge, they are downplayed, ridiculed, or ignored. Since President Trump took office, every credible danger to his life has been met with the same cover stories and refusal to acknowledge the ongoing siege against him.
In 2026, the Air Force One turnaround gets the identical treatment: a “minor electrical issue” with flickering lights is reported without question. On the world's most secure aircraft, this vague excuse justifies aborting a transatlantic flight; yet the media never probes deeper or admits the obvious threat to the President.
The pattern is clear: high-profile disruptions cloaked in technical excuses. The “flickering lights” plays the same role as the “helicopter” label; surface plausibility to conceal a deeper threat that was detected and neutralized.
Q highlighted Hawaii to train Anons to spot this playbook. The 2026 incident is the reminder in action: the MSM lies, sticks to the cover, and pretends the President isn't under constant attack.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES?
On October 6, 2020 Q posted a striking image of President Trump encircled by the barrels of the mainstream media, globalist elites, political machines, and international institutions; all aimed directly at him like weapons. The caption reads:
He gave up everything.
He knew his life, and the lives of his family, would forever change.
He knew [knows] the consequences.
A man who had everything.
Why do it?
This drop is a powerful reminder of the profound sacrifice President Trump made —leaving behind a life of luxury, security, and fame to confront an array of hidden enemies head-on. He knew the risks from the beginning, yet he chose the fight anyway.
The 2018 Hawaii incident and the 2026 Air Force One turnaround are not isolated anomalies; they are part of the same ongoing war against The American Deep State and the Global Cabal. Both follow the exact blueprint: a sudden threat to POTUS on AF1, neutralized quietly behind the scenes, then cloaked in an innocuous technical excuse with seamless resolution and total media compliance. No real investigations, no leaks; just the same pattern of silence.
The silence is not suppression; it is operational security at the highest level. Revealing the full truth of these threats in real time would compromise future defenses, alert adversaries to capabilities, and endanger the mission. The classified nature of the countermeasures ensures the fight continues effectively, without giving the enemy any advantage.
The stakes are higher than ever as Trump heads into Davos territory; straight into the heart of the Global Cabal who have targeted him since day one.
Pray for President Trump.
Watch for what comes next,
and Remember Anon!
EYES OPEN.
NO FEAR.
An outstanding detailed post with real crucial thinking, soild information including Q related isn't lacking here one single bit. When today's incident happened, I somehow knew it was no mere "technical problem."
President Trump is truly someone we don't deserve, like what he's doing is far beyond anything someone rational could ever understand. The risks and dangers altogether could had made him rethink his choices.
He knows this, but the previous life Trump gave up before becoming POTUS? I am sure anyone would literally want that type of lifestyle in a heartbeat, but I know God has gave him a soecial assignment that he took seriously and is doing things in such a way that only THE LORD has planned for him do.
He's truly doing God's Will, you can see and feel it. The Deep State knows this, and the sheer demonic attempts on his life prove it. Especially now, they can see the writing on the wall and what the results will be. The panic is very real, and God wins always.
May THE LORD protect and bless President Donald J. Trump's life and have to him do what was given to him as what he assigned him for!
WWG1WGA!
Amen! Joining your prayer over PDJT .. Anointed for a time such as this! Well said Ze! 🙏
I must admit, I've been rather complacent when it comes to praying for our President's wellbeing as he takes this fight to the darkness to the highest stakes we've seen yet. Tonight is a sobering reminder that our lives and the soul of this nation are in God's hands... I'm convicted of my personal need to spend more time in prayer.
Another dasting Q-incidence for the Anons. . .
It has been exactly one year since President Trump did the dance with the sword and the cake adorned with the AF1 model.
January 20th of 2025:
u/#sworddance
u/#SwordChop
And POTUS said, "Cut the cake, not the plane" 😸
This is great work. And thank you for laying it out like that.
I wonder if the “journalists” they removed are now getting a full rubber glove cavity search and bio-weapon scan.
I presume AF1 has sniffers in the Aircon to detect harmful toxins and bacteria etc. Where the lights flickering in the press area a warning?
The DS are getting desperate. I hope Trump sleeps, eats and uses nothing THEY give to him.
I wonder if there was more behind this story:
Richard Russell, a 28-year-old ground worker for Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air, stole an empty Horizon Air Q400 turboprop plane from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on August 10, 2018. He took off without a pilot’s license, flew for about an hour and 10 minutes, performed dangerous maneuvers—including an upside-down aerial loop—before intentionally crashing the aircraft into Ketron Island in Puget Sound. The incident, described by authorities as a suicide attempt, sparked a nationwide response, with two F-15 fighter jets scrambled to intercept the plane. Russell was killed in the crash. FBI records released in 2022 confirmed he had been described as “suicidal” and had no known connection to terrorism. The plane was a twin-engine turboprop with a capacity for 76 passengers, but it was empty at the time of the theft.
The chans/anons dug into this and I'm pretty sure this was a distraction to take out the rogue sub that launched the missile. Then there was a whole other rabbit hole about the Clowns having their own secret Military or something.
oh wow, thanks for the memories! I woke up early while we were camping and it was freezing cold (about 12,000 feet). I sat in the car with the engine on and listening to the radio while my family slept, and listened to the saga of Russell, drinking cold coffee. I laughed! It was so strange. It still is! Highlight of my morning. I always wondered what it would tie to. I had no idea it was that long ago. Time flies.
Wasn't his name 'Richard Russell' the same name as a missing attack submarine? Something like that as I recall. Found this. https://www.navysite.de/ssn/ssn687.htm
WOW
How would you have had time to write all of that since this incident took place?
Because u/Qanaut knows the Drops and has clarity of thought.
Always refer to the drops.
Thanks for your excellent post Qanaut. 🫡
I'm calm. Patriots are in Control.
Q drops + AI
Exceptional post and information reminder. Amazing. Thank you u/Qanaut!
You must have been up all night doing this. I am impressed!
It was posted in less than an hour from the time of the news of the incident … thus my question on this thread. I was awake and following the news.
I had a flickering light about a month and a half ago and I'm telling you right now if you have a flickering light, like in a horror movie, there's a high probability something is going to go wrong. And it did.
I lost power to half my electrical outlets yet none of the breakers were tripped.
It took me quite a while to figure it out. The main breakers at the meter that we're not tripped, needed reset, off 30 seconds back on and the power was restored.
So I was relieved, and figured I'd put on a fresh pot of Columbia Supremo coffee to kick back and celebrate.
Wrong. My coffee maker was burned up!
In the air this happens? ....😱
Great & important post.
Thanks fren o7
Extremely professional and insightful writeup. WOW, so well done!! Thank you for this.
Fantastic, thank you, great read
What a post.
...or it was an electrical problem.
Atleast we have an idea what kind this might be. FOr instance some of the stuff they used in 'Zuela.
Top notch post. It must be making "them" crazy to keep failing at the one thing they think will solve all their problems. I have the belief that they cannot kill that man because God is protecting him, and that the only reason they seem to almost succeed at times is to show that to the world. They can nick his ear, but he's going to stomp them into the ground (in process), and nothing's going to stop that.
Ok. I am at work and don't have much time to devote today.... however, my comment earlier on this thread stands (in essence) though I was technically wrong. POTUS 45 was safely on the golf course during the Hawaiian false missile alert. OP, though this is an important post, was technically wrong too. We need to reevaluate this timeline. The enemy did try to shoot him down - Q said so - but it was NOT during that false alert. Further, that false alert was about something that was supposed to happen but was met with military interventions. Seems like a rogue submarine was/is somewhere in my memory. Please assist Frens... dig. Let's get this right!
I didn't know about Q until two years after this incident, but I remember when this happened I thought, "That's...really strange. Something like that doesn't just happen by accident."
Seriously... I must have a faulty memory... I thought the Hawaiian missile alert was a separate incident from the attempted shoot down of AF1. I thought the attempted shoot down was when POTUS was going to Asia and it was to be blamed on N Korea.
Great post, either way; but, is my memory wrong?
