A chilling warning has been sent to Americans amid a spate of drone sightings and apparent rises in radiation levels. The Geiger Counter World Map flagged two areas this week in the New York metropolitan area as exceeding the 200 counts-per-minute safety threshold, with similar alerts in nearby Connecticut.
It follows speculation that the drones might be searching for a nuclear warhead that went "missing" during the Cold War. According to author Gordon Chang, the radiation spikes could be linked to the drones. "There have been reports of spikes and radiation in the New York metropolitan area," he told Forbes. "Two of them, one on each side of the Hudson. That leads to the conclusion that maybe they're looking for an implanted nuclear weapon.".
In his latest book, Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America, Chang discusses the looming possibility of a Chinese surprise attack on US soil. He draws parallels between the present drone "flap" and the 2023 "spy balloon" crisis, when a Chinese craft was spotted in US airspace, highlighting the supposed failure of the federal government to safeguard the American people in both cases. Chang believes that China's leadership is now poised to initiate a war against America, reports the Express US.
He insisted: "At this point we really need the president of the United States to actually address the American people and tell us what the federal government knows and what it doesn't know.". Outlining a grim prospect, he considered the risk of a collaboration among America's enemies. He continued: "For more than a decade US officials have been worried about the North Koreans taking apart a device, smuggling the parts into the United States and reassembling it in the location of their choice.
