This is the DEFCON Warning System. Alert status for 2:45 P.M. Wednesday, March 18th, 2015. Condition Blue. DEFCON 4. Condition Blue. DEFCON 4. Condition Blue. DEFCON 4.

There are currently no imminent nuclear threats against the United States at this time, however there are events occurring in the world theatre which require closer observation.

The incident of Monday/Tuesday appears to have concluded. To date, we have found no outside, independent confirmation of the events monitored in the Arctic area. Radio communications were judged to be authentic and not a drill or exercise, yet empirical evidence of either an actual encounter or an exercise has not been located to promote either conclusion. At this time, we are classifying the incident as an Unknown Event.

At this time, however, known drills and exercises are taking place by both Russian and American forces. Russia has reacted to American drills by mobilizing many of its forces in several areas. We are monitoring these due to the close proximity of forces as well as heightened tensions in the region. Additionally, there is heavier fighting in the Ukraine as Russians along with rebels move past lines drawn by the cease fire agreement. NATO forces have moved into the vicinity, and backdoor agreements between NATO and the Ukraine have been made.

The DEFCON Warning System is a private enterprise which monitors world events and assesses nuclear threats against the United States by national entities. It is not affiliated with any government agency and does not represent the alert status of any military branch. The public should make their own evaluations and not rely on the DEFCON Warning System for any strategic planning. At all times, citizens are urged to learn what steps to take in the event of a nuclear attack.

If this had been an actual attack, the DEFCON Warning System will give radiation readings for areas that are reported to it. Your readings will vary. This system serves northern Stevens County, Washington and Hutchinson County, Texas. Official news sources will have radiation readings for your area.
