Last year, when residents up and down the East Coast reported mysterious drones appearing night after night, it was today’s guest John Ferguson’s expertise that helped major news outlets connect the dots. His analysis led to national reporting. But now, unidentified drones appearing over Fort McNair — the same base where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth reside — is more than a curiosity. It’s a warning sign. According to multiple reports, the drones were detected on a single night within the past ten days, and officials could not determine their origin. We’ve also seen multiple unidentified drones flying over nuclear bomber bases in Louisiana, also of unknown origin! With the U.S. already on heightened alert due to the conflict with Iran, the presence of unknown unmanned aircraft over one of the most sensitive military installations in the country raises serious questions about perimeter security and adversarial reconnaissance. Mr. Ferguson is back in the media today discussing these issues, he is a drone expert and the Founder and Chairman of Saxon Aerospace and Saxon Unmanned, a Kansas‑based manufacturer of long‑range, military‑grade unmanned aircraft and remote systems. John is also a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and former reconnaissance scout swimmer, went on to become a deep‑sea diver, submersible vehicle pilot, and global infrastructure specialist, working in more than 80 countries. Ferguson holds multiple pending U.S. patents and is known for designing rugged, life‑saving, cost‑saving technologies relied on by major clients worldwide including the military, energy, and agriculture sectors.
