Fort Worth HFGW jamming claim — An anonymous website claims UAP communications jamming was tested near Fort Worth.

An anonymous website, part of a cryptic online project known as "Forgotten Languages", claimed that in 2008 F-16 fighter jets carrying high-frequency gravitational wave (HFGW) "jammers" were tested against glowing orbs near Fort Worth, Texas. The site, which publishes material in invented languages, has a cult following among some UFO enthusiasts.

No evidence supports the claim. The JASON scientific advisory group concluded in 2008 that practical HFGW devices aren't feasible.

The testimony notes that the site's post was published in June 2016, three years before it became public that AAWSAP had commissioned a report on HFGW communications, which some see as suspicious foreknowledge. Others point out that HFGW research had been publicly discussed for years before that.
