US EditionOklahoma Man Arrested in Vandalism of TV Weather Radar
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, JUL 11 – The militia group Veterans on Patrol claims to be targeting Oklahoma weather radars based on conspiracy theories about military weather control, threatening multiple radar sites, officials said.
- In 2025, a radar used for weather monitoring in Oklahoma City was targeted amid escalating threats from the far-right militia group Veterans on Patrol.
- The attack followed statements by group leader Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, who claimed military control of weather through radars and planned to disable NexRads.
- Experts including meteorologists and NOAA radar specialists rejected weather manipulation claims and emphasized radars exist solely to protect lives by issuing timely warnings.
- Meyer has a history of arrests and conspiracy theory promotion, police are aware of the group and its social media threats, though no arrests have followed the radar attack so far.
