If you are buying the official story that the FAA shut down the airspace over a major US city and grounded military flights because of a "party balloon" or a "cartel drone," you may want to hear this.

​While the media was busy reporting on the chaos at El Paso International (KELP) and the "argument" between the FAA and the DOD, they completely ignored the second emergency restriction that went up at the exact same time.

The El Paso airport restriction was lifted. This one was not.

-On Feb 10-11, the FAA issues a shock "National Defense Airspace" alert, grounding everything for 10 days. Chaos ensues.

-​The Excuse: First it was "special security reasons." Then Attorney General Pam Bondi claims it's "cartel drones." Then leaks to CBS and AP say it was actually a "party balloon" that got zapped by a laser during a secret DOD test, causing an argument between the FAA and the Pentagon.

-​The Resolution: They claimed the "threat was neutralized" and lifted the ban on the city airspace after 8 hours.

Does it make sense to you that we would shut down a massive commercial corridor and ground military flights at Fort Bliss for 10 days because of a Mylar balloon? No. You only ground the military if you don't want them seeing something, or if the risk of a mid-air collision with "something" is total.

While everyone was looking at the airport, the FAA quietly issued TFR 6/2234 just to the west.

-​Status: STILL ACTIVE (As of Feb 12, 2026) ​End Date: Feb 21, 2026 (Matches the original 10-day "security" window).

-​Location: 31.88319° N, 107.01833° W

-​Target Area: The East Potrillo Mountains / Santa Teresa, NM.

This is not the airport airspace. This is a specific block of airspace over the East Potrillo Mountains, a rugged, desolate area west of El Paso. The airport reopened, but this box remains sealed off. #ufoX #ufotwitter
