A group identified as an “anti-government militia” is drawing attention after claiming it’s targeting weather radar systems in Oklahoma. Days after one of News 9’s weather radars was vandalized, the group—called Veterans on Patrol—told the station it is intentionally focusing on these systems, believing they are used for weather control.
The group’s founder, Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, admitted in an interview with News 9 that they’re behind signage warning of attacks on Doppler radar systems. He said he personally posted one of the signs near a radar and doubled down on his belief that the government is using radar and communication infrastructure to manipulate weather and target individuals.
“They can embed their technology in homes, phones, and network towers not only to control the weather but also target individuals,” Meyer claimed.
News 9 Chief Meteorologist David Payne strongly refuted Meyer’s claims.
“We have one of the most powerful live radars in Oklahoma—one of the best in the country—but we can’t modify weather at all,” Payne said. “When our radar is sabotaged, we can’t track severe weather or tornadoes. It becomes instantly useless, and that puts lives at risk.”
Despite the debunked claims, Meyer went further, accusing the U.S. military of using weather as a weapon.
“When the military plays God with the weather, they’re mocking our Heavenly Father by calling one of His most powerful tools a ‘weather weapon,’” he said.
Payne responded by emphasizing the real purpose of radar systems: “I wish we could turn it on and say, ‘let’s make that tornado disappear,’ but all of our radar equipment is strictly for warning and protecting the public.”
When asked if Veterans on Patrol was responsible for the recent radar sabotage, Meyer replied, “Veterans On Patrol is responsible for a lot more than that.”
In response to the threats, the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety issued a statement through the Oklahoma Counter Terrorism Intelligence Center (OCTIC):
“Fusion centers play a crucial role in monitoring and mitigating threats to critical infrastructure. OCTIC actively monitors all threats in Oklahoma. If you see suspicious activity near critical infrastructure, report it through the free ProtectOk app or call 911 immediately.”
