06/02/13 - 0000~2400hrs - 17 groups - 41 Bodies - High temps= BP prioritizing limited time on SAR (Search & Rescue)
5 minutes of condensed audio (click on link below)
Groups of: 2,3,6,1,1,4,"911",1,2,2,7,1,2-SAR
(P= "46" Drug Packers, A= Armed individuals, U= UltraLight, LV= Load Vehicle, B=Bailout. SAR=Search & Rescue)
Significant Events in audio:
-- There were MANY groups being worked during this 24 hour period where the size of the group could not be determined.
-- 0500 - "911" call - IA in distress- Trico pole line north of Three Points (Turns out he wasn't in distress... just a quitter)
-- 1300 - 2 "SAR" operations going for IAs in distress - location and disposition unknown
(Note: High summer temperatures in the desert traditionally equates to a slowdown in smuggling traffic headed north. Low
apprehension numbers can also be attributed to the fact that smugglers will travel at night and "layup" in the daytime, making detection in the daytime more difficult and more dependent on reconnaissance aircraft for detection at night.
Thermal imaging detection equipment used by reconnaissance aircraft and ground agents is not as effective in the summer as objects in the desert remain "hot" longer into the night, making it more difficult to discern a "hot" 98.6 degree body from a saguaro cactus.
Furthermore, the Border Patrol's stated primary mission in the summertime is "SAR" (Search and Rescue) with
a secondary mission of apprehension. With fuel and flight time limitations placed on Rotary, Fixed & UAV
Border Patrol Aircraft, no doubt, the effort to detect and apprehend Illegal Aliens and Drug Smugglers is
is negatively affected when these limited resources are prioritized in the summertime for Search and Rescue .The increase in the number of "911" emergency calls by Illegal Aliens further ties up limited resources, with many calls being turning out to be "bogus"... used to divert BP resources to an area while smuggling occurs in another area.

06/04/13 - 0000~2400hrs - 29 Groups - 143 Bodies - Predator UAV aircraft spots IAs "kneeling at sun-up" near Patagonia, AZ
6 minutes of condensed audio (click on link below)
Groups of: 2,1,26,8,1,5,7,4,4,5,1,2,4,4,13,2,1,1,1,7,6,5,10,7,8,2,4
(P= "46" Drug Packers, A= Armed individuals, U= UltraLight Sighting, LV= Load Vehicle, B=Bailout. FTY= Failure to Yield)
Significant Events in audio:
-- There were MANY groups being worked during this 24 hour period where the size of the group could not be determined.
-- 0200 - BP group of 8 IA near Patagonia, AZ ... Surveillance aircraft reports observation of "kneeling" by targets at "sun-up"
This 1:24 minute short version condensed audio clip covers a time span starting at 06/04/13 - 0200 thru 06/04/13 - 0700.
Omaha 25 (Predator) aircraft starts tracking a group of Illegal Aliens on 06/04/13 @ about 0200 @ N31 33.250, W110 42.70.
This location is 2.6 miles NE of Patagonia,AZ .... 1/4 mile north of Red Rock Road and 15 miles north of the US/Mexico border, southeast of Tucson in southern Arizona (see map below).
The group was tracked to a location 2.3 miles SE of the original coordinates at approximately 0700.
At the 1:16 minute mark in the audio clip (@ approximately 0750) the Omaha 25 operator makes the following statement:
"...uh.... be advised.... uh ... replay the tape shows.... uh.... about sun-up, there was some kneeling going on....."
Transmissions from Omaha 25 after the above statement concerning this incident continued for an additional 45 seconds with one final set of coordinates. After that, no further transmissions from Omaha 25 or any other transmissions concerning this incident or its disposition were discerned.
Come to your own conclusions.
(Note: Predator UAV aircraft are flown from some remote location. Some of the Predators in Arizona are being flown remotely by "pilots" based in North Dakota. Most, if not all of these pilots are current or previous military "drone" pilots who have had a lot of experience in flying drones remotely in Islamic countries. The one sentence observation made by the done pilot would be as result of behavior of targets he has seen in the past in Islamic countries.....unusual here in the United States but not unusual in Iraq, Pakistan or Afghanistan. After 5 hours of recorded audio for this event, it is significant that drone pilot "replayed the tape" in order to recount something that had previously caught his attention while observing the event "real time". Also significant is that 45 seconds after the statement was broadcast, there was no further communication concerning disposition of this incident on the un-secure radio channel being monitored. Someone does not want the implication of this event to become public knowledge. )
