United Launch Alliance (ULA) recently announced that it is currently planning on launching the NROL-42 mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base’s Space Launch Complex-3 (SLC-3) in California. At present, the mission is slated to take flight on Sept. 14 of this year (2017). 

NROL-42 is one of five missions that have already occurred or are slated for launch this year (NROL-79 was launched atop a ULA Atlas V 401 on March 1 in Vandenberg and NROL-76 flew atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A on May 1). At present NROL-42, 47, 52 will round out the missions for 2017.

My name is Darren McMahon and I’m being targeted by U.S. satellites. I believe I’m being targeted for experimentation purposes. The entities most likely responsible for this experimentation are the N.R.O. (National Reconnaissance Office) and defense corporations. I am targeted while I attempt to sleep at night with some form of directed energy. Shortly after falling to sleep I will either experience a jolt, or a feeling of vibrations traveling down into my body in a straight line. Following either sensation, my heartbeat and breathing will quicken and I will immediately awaken. This pattern of targeting is repeated throughout the night preventing me from achieving any meaningful sleep. I fear the sleep deprivation I experience will negatively affect my health. This satellite targeting of me has been physical torture.
