BROKEN ARROW, Okla. — A veterans advocate and independent investigative journalist publicly claimed responsibility for damaging equipment at a National Weather Service radar installation in Oklahoma on Tuesday, Nov. 3, alleging that the facility was part of a covert military operation involving directed-energy weapons and weather manipulation.
Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, who identified himself as the founder of Veterans on Patrol, made the statements in a video broadcast by Sojourner News Network under the title “I Damaged a Directed Energy Weapon.” Meyer said he entered the radar facility at approximately 10 p.m., damaged electrical and mechanical equipment, and removed components he intended to preserve as evidence.
“I want everyone to know this is my confession,” Meyer said during the approximately 15-minute recording.
Meyer maintained that he deliberately left the radar operating despite damaging supporting equipment. He said he intended to turn himself in to law enforcement and seek a federal jury trial rather than negotiate a plea agreement.
His account could not be independently verified, and there was no confirmation from federal or local authorities in the reporting reviewed that the alleged damage occurred as described. The allegations concerning military weather manipulation are likewise unsupported by verified evidence.
Meyer described himself as a veteran advocate who works with former service members experiencing suicidal crises. Through Veterans on Patrol, he said, volunteers undertake community assistance missions involving homeless people, families facing food insecurity, runaway teenagers and suspected victims of human trafficking.
He also alleged that his organization has sheltered children from government authorities, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, whom he accused of involvement in trafficking. Those allegations were not supported by independently verifiable documentation in the recording.
The video marked an escalation in what Meyer described as a multiyear campaign to expose alleged misuse of the nation’s Doppler radar network.
Meyer alleged that he had removed electrical components and damaged several parts of the installation, including equipment associated with backup power and cooling systems. He displayed objects he identified as materials taken from the facility and said photographs and other evidence would be introduced during legal proceedings.
He also claimed to have climbed the radar tower but stopped before entering an upper compartment after experiencing dizziness. Meyer attributed the sensation to electromagnetic emissions and alleged that warning signs at the installation demonstrated violations of Federal Communications Commission regulations. He provided no independently verified measurements establishing that the facility had exceeded applicable exposure limits.
Meyer repeatedly characterized the NEXRAD system, formally known as Next Generation Weather Radar, as a directed-energy weapon rather than equipment intended to detect severe weather. He accused the U.S. military of using radar installations to influence storms, intensify flooding and contribute to wildfires.
“They are deploying weather warfare against us. That is a fact,” Meyer asserted.
Those accusations conflict with the established scientific purpose and documented operation of weather radar. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NEXRAD systems transmit radio-wave pulses and measure reflected signals to identify precipitation, wind patterns, storm movement and potentially dangerous weather conditions. The technology provides information used by meteorologists to issue severe-weather warnings.
The network is operated through cooperation among the National Weather Service, Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Defense. The FAA describes NEXRAD as essential aviation and meteorological infrastructure used to track hazardous weather, including thunderstorms and precipitation.
There is currently no scientific evidence that the network is being used to create hurricanes, generate wildfires, control storms or conduct coordinated attacks on civilian communities.
Meyer nevertheless alleged that military personnel and unidentified whistleblowers had provided him with information about classified programs involving environmental manipulation. He claimed some of the individuals had participated in unacknowledged military operations and that his advocacy work had brought him into contact with them.
He also demanded the release of FBI interviews involving a woman he identified as Lori Cramer, whom he described as a source of information about alleged stratospheric aerosol injection programs. Meyer claimed Cramer’s research had been accessed by personnel associated with 120 militaries. Neither the purported interviews nor that allegation could be independently verified.
Meyer cited Title 50, Section 1520a, of the U.S. Code, a federal provision restricting certain human-subject testing involving chemical or biological agents, as justification for his accusations against the military. He did not establish that the statute applies to the operation of Doppler weather radar or that the facilities were engaged in prohibited testing.
His latest statements followed an earlier confrontation involving weather radar equipment in Oklahoma.
In July 2025, Anthony Tyler Mitchell was arrested and charged in connection with damage to the weather radar operated by Oklahoma City television station KWTV. The incident disrupted equipment used to monitor severe weather and provide emergency information.
According to the Oklahoma attorney general’s office, Mitchell faced felony charges involving property destruction and damage to critical infrastructure, along with a misdemeanor charge related to unlawful entry.
Attorney General Gentner Drummond rejected claims that radar facilities were weapons used to manipulate the weather.
“Weather radar is not a ‘weather weapon.’ Radar technology is vitally important and saves the lives of countless Oklahomans every year,” Drummond said in July 2025.
Mitchell later pleaded guilty and received a 10-year suspended sentence in February 2026, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker. The report also documented previous public statements by Meyer supporting the removal of weather radar installations, although authorities had not established a connection between Mitchell and Veterans on Patrol at the time of the original incident.
In Tuesday’s video, Meyer referred specifically to Mitchell’s case, saying the earlier incident had caused him to suspend his own plans while he attempted to determine whether federal investigators were monitoring his activities.
He claimed to have experienced more than three dozen encounters with law enforcement at radar installations and military facilities while conducting what he described as simulations and investigations.
Meyer further asserted that he had previously informed the FBI, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt and Attorney General Drummond about his allegations. He named an individual he identified as FBI Agent Joshua Rich and claimed federal investigators had been warned about possible actions against radar infrastructure.
Those reported communications and the extent of any prior federal investigation were not independently established.
Meyer also directed remarks toward Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, claiming he had communicated with the secretary earlier in the day. He said the alleged damage at Broken Arrow was intended to generate public attention and force officials to acknowledge his accusations.
During the recording, Meyer made additional statements about possible future attacks on radar equipment and encouraged supporters to confront what he described as military weather-control installations. He also called for demonstrations around military bases and radar facilities.
According to officials, such facilities are only used to support forecasting and emergency warnings, particularly in Oklahoma, where tornadoes and severe thunderstorms present recurring dangers.
Meyer also discussed equipment he called “Horace” units, describing them as mobile electromagnetic transmitters allegedly operating throughout Oklahoma. He claimed the units contained multiple antennas and were responsible for unusual radar readings. The recording did not provide verifiable evidence of the equipment’s alleged capabilities or its involvement in weather manipulation.
He further accused state officials of authorizing environmental operations involving atmospheric spraying and directed-energy technology. Meyer alleged that even property belonging to Gov. Stitt had been damaged by such weapons.
No independently substantiated evidence was presented to support those accusations.
Despite the severity of his allegations, Meyer repeatedly maintained that his objective was to expose what he believed to be wrongdoing rather than harm individuals. He framed the alleged property damage as an act of protest and said he wanted the resulting criminal proceedings to provide a public forum for presenting his claims.
“I want a jury of my peer to hear my pleas and let them know that tonight I went out to make awareness and save lives,” he said.
Meyer also rejected the possibility of a negotiated resolution similar to Mitchell’s case, announcing that he would seek a speedy trial in federal court.
“I’m not taking any plea deal like Anthony Tyler Mitchell did. I’m requesting a speedy trial, a jury by my peers,” Meyer stated.
He said he expected to face criminal prosecution and planned to surrender voluntarily to the Broken Arrow Police Department. Meyer also expressed concern about how authorities might respond, declaring that he was not suicidal and did not intend to harm himself.
The recording concluded with religious remarks, appeals for prayers for his family and military personnel, and a renewed acknowledgment of responsibility for the alleged damage.
“My name is Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer. I am the one who destroyed NEXRAD equipment in Broken Arrow,” he said.
Meyer’s statements constitute a public admission of alleged property damage, but the actual condition of the radar facility, the extent of any disruption and whether criminal charges have been initiated require confirmation from authorities.
