Baron Coleman Discovers Heber City Flight Connected to Charlie Kirk Event and Butch Hibbs Microphone Mystery

Baron Coleman uncovers a suspicious timeline connecting a private flight from Heber City, Utah to Nashville on August 25th, the same day an explosive systems contract was delivered, just weeks before the Charlie Kirk event at Utah Valley University. Through meticulous investigation of flight records, clothing measurements, and video metadata, Coleman traces how Butch Hibbs, brother of Pastor Jack Hibbs, appeared at the event carrying what appears to be an object matching the exact dimensions of the Road Wireless Go II microphone used by Charlie Kirk. The investigation reveals Hibbs standing near sound technicians moments before the incident, then wandering the scene afterward without the object in his pocket, while being the first person to connect the shooter narrative to the gun-related question being asked on stage.

Opening Statement on Investigation Methods

Baron Coleman begins with a firm statement rejecting the notion that every hypothesis in an investigation must be 100% accurate before being discussed. He compares investigative work to detective movies and true crime stories, where early evidence often points in one direction before later evidence changes everything. Investigations consist of puzzle pieces that must be sifted through to determine which pieces fit and which don't belong at all.

The task becomes more difficult during large investigations involving many actors at the scene and lurking in the shadows beforehand. Coleman references the thousands of characters who played roles, knowingly or unknowingly, in events like 9/11. Similarly, the Charlie Kirk investigation involved an estimated 2,000 to 3,000 people present when he was taken down, with hundreds more in the shadows of his personal and professional life.

The Three Pools of Potential Suspects

Coleman divides potential suspects into three pools. The first pool consisted of perhaps two dozen people from the scene, mostly employees and contractors of Charlie Kirk. The second pool included maybe a dozen or two more behind-the-scenes figures, mostly Turning Point USA employees or contractors, along with tangential figures like donors and affiliated individuals.

The third pool proves most problematic - a small number of people, but individuals tend to come and go from this pool. This includes Tyler Robinson and his roommate, their friends, potential military people, intelligence operators, elected officials, and family members. Because this pool remains unclear, Coleman explains they must sometimes speculate aloud to get clarity on who belongs in this third pool of potential suspects.

The SAM Triple Zero Flight Investigation

While investigating potential members of the third pool, Coleman began speculating about a particular multi-leg US military flight from Joint Base Andrews to Colorado Springs and then Las Vegas on August 25th, a little over two weeks before the Utah Valley University event. The flight carried the rarely used call sign SAM triple zero, reserved for people as high-ranking as the president and vice president, though occasionally used for cabinet-level officials and military officials ranked as high as the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Coleman received screenshots from an emailer showing city streets closed down near the airport when the plane landed. He scoured schedules of both the president and vice president, determining President Trump was present and accounted for on camera several times during the flight day and following day. However, he could not find video or mention of Vice President Vance being present after the flight left Joint Base Andrews.

Coleman stated he would include Vance on the short list of people who might have been on that flight unless someone could provide proof otherwise. Someone did provide that proof - a person who was in the Oval Office with Vice President Vance on the afternoon of August 25th. After reviewing video with verifiable metadata, Coleman became 100% confident that Vice President Vance was not on that flight. He does not regret speculating aloud, as this is how investigations unfold. The question remains: who was on that flight from Joint Base Andrews to Colorado Springs?

The Butch Hibbs Microphone Discovery

On a previous show, Coleman examined images of Butch Hibbs, brother of Pastor Jack Hibbs, from before and after the Charlie Kirk event. Butch looked different - his beard, hair, and even the curve of his hat were substantially different. An astute emailer asked what appeared to be in Butch's right breast pocket before the event.

Coleman went back and examined images from Charles McClintock Wilson, finding something in the front right pocket that looked like a rectangle or square with rounded edges. He found a full frontal picture from Facebook where he could see the object clearly - a mostly square-looking object with rounded corners. In video from after the event, the Adam Bartholomew Life is Driving video, the object was no longer in Butch Hibbs' front right pocket.

Coleman identified the shirt as a Wrangler fishing shirt and visited Walmart with a tape measure to examine similar shirts. All Wrangler shirts with similar check patterns had approximately one-inch stripes. Based on these measurements, the object appeared to be just under two inches both tall and wide, sticking off his chest less than an inch, maybe half or three-quarters of an inch.

Matching the Road Wireless Go II Dimensions

Coleman looked up the dimensions of the Road Wireless Go II microphone that Charlie Kirk was miked up with seconds before taking the stage. The dimensions were basically identical to what he estimated was in Butch's pocket: 46.4mm high by 44mm wide, converting to 1.8 inches tall and just short of 1.8 inches wide. The microphone is almost square with rounded edges, sticking off about 18mm or roughly 0.7 inches.

Comparing these dimensions to the object in Butch Hibbs' pocket, Coleman found them to match precisely. The question became: how would someone like Butch Hibbs even come in contact with this microphone? All images of Charlie Kirk getting miked up were on the left side of the tent, while Butch Hibbs appeared to be standing on the right side. However, Coleman found an image from just before Charlie Kirk came out showing Butch Hibbs without his hat, standing right next to Brian Harpole, Terryl Farnsworth, and Philip Goldsbury Jr., the man who miked up Charlie Kirk.

The Heber City Flight to Nashville

Coleman told his wife that if the payload was an explosive and Butch ended up with it, he suspected Butch was there to receive it. He noted that Butch lives in Heber City based on Facebook posts. He wondered if there was a plane into Nashville from Heber City on the day the Accurate Energetic Systems contract was delivered.

Accurate Energetic Systems is a high explosive manufacturer in McEwen, Tennessee, about an hour west of Nashville. Coleman reviewed their list of contracts and focused on a $400,000-plus short-term contract. Brian Harpole told the Shawn Ryan Show that he started planning the Charlie Kirk event in earnest on August 24th, a Sunday, though Coleman suggested perhaps August 25th since few people start working on Sunday.

Coleman checked flight records at John Tune Airport, a private airport in Nashville where wealthy people fly. Looking at flight history for August 25th, he found a Heber City, Utah flight landing that day - a private jet with call sign from a company out of Wilmington, Delaware. This was the same day the explosive had to be delivered according to the contract.

The Missing Return Flight

Coleman then searched for a return flight from Nashville to Heber City but could not find one that day or the following days. He checked both John Tune and BNA, the larger commercial airport. He realized why he couldn't find a return flight: Heber City gets almost no traffic as a tiny airport, but more importantly, it is illegal and dangerous to get on a flight with an explosive payload. Federal laws prohibit carrying explosives on commercial or private jets due to pressure situations and electrical concerns.

Coleman acknowledged this could all be coincidence, but he believes if truly investigating, all of this becomes relevant inquiry. Federal authorities could subpoena that flight, get the manifest, and if it was Butch Hibbs or someone he knows, there should be a good explanation for being in Nashville. Where was the return flight? Did they drive? Rent a car? These questions warrant asking a judge for permission to investigate further.

The Accurate Energetic Systems Plant Explosion

Coleman notes that about a month after Charlie Kirk died, the Accurate Energetic Systems plant was wiped off the Earth in an explosion that killed 16 people instantly. He suggests this makes the inquiry even more relevant - investigators could ask what contract they were delivering, as it was a federal government contract. They could request the place of delivery, point of delivery, and time of delivery through Freedom of Information Act requests if it doesn't have national security implications.

Evidence of Fragmented Material

Coleman addresses a theory that circulated about Charlie Kirk being shot from behind rather than the front. People noticed something falling from the top of the tent right after the incident, thinking it looked like a shell casing. In light of new information, Coleman believes it looks like fragmented ABS plastic. If something provided an explosive charge underneath Charlie Kirk's shirt, the Road microphone housing made of plastic would fragment and fall to the ground. This would provide a convenient excuse to pave over the area, as each plastic piece would have explosive residue that bomb dogs would detect.

Candace Owens Timeline and Metadata

Candace Owens contacted someone who took first-person video at the scene. She reviewed the metadata and determined exactly when the video was taken - the only video of the alleged shooter lying prone on the Losi Center looking forward. The metadata showed recording began at 12:22 and went into 12:23, the very minute Charlie Kirk was affected. The witness said he stopped recording about 20 seconds before the shot rang out.

This means the recording could have started as early as 1 minute 30 seconds before the incident and ended as late as 12:23:15. Coleman lined up this timeline with what was happening on stage at that moment to see if anybody's behavior changed, suggesting if no one at the stage was aware the alleged shooter would be there making a loud noise, their behavior wouldn't change at all.

Brian Harpole Abandons His Post

Coleman examined video showing Brian Harpole's behavior during the critical timeframe. Harpole discussed on the Shawn Ryan Show how his team had zones of responsibility, explaining that looking out into the distance means seeing nothing, but looking close person-by-person allows seeing details. Each team member had specific zones they were not supposed to abandon without someone filling that zone.

At precisely 50 seconds before the incident, as the alleged shooter would have been getting into position according to Candace's timeline, Brian Harpole takes a glance up into the distance for the first time in 10 minutes of footage. His glasses, which had been angled down below the speaker at all times as he watched the front rows, suddenly came up higher than the speaker angle as he looked out at the distance. He then looked around, slowly made his way back behind Frank Turek, abandoning his zone of responsibility for the first time.

Butch Hibbs Plants the Shooter Narrative

Coleman shows footage from about 10 minutes after the incident where Butch Hibbs walks up behind Adam from Life is Driving. Butch was the first person to make the connection between the shooter and the question being asked. He was standing about 2 feet to the right of the tent during the incident, seeing everything happen and watching them carry Charlie Kirk off. Yet he asks, "Did you hear he got hit for sure?" - not good faith questioning from someone who witnessed everything.

Butch then says, "That's almost like it was set up because the second speaker was talking about guns and then the next thing you know..." He was the first person on earth to point out this connection, hours ahead of people on Twitter making the same observation. Coleman finds it suspicious that Butch wandered around planting the idea of the gunshot being related to the gun question, making it seem like it clearly was a gunshot rather than an exploded microphone.

The Right to Investigate

Coleman emphasizes that he has never accused anyone of anything definitively. He raises questions so that viewers - whom he dubbed investigators - can examine evidence themselves. Everyone has a phone and computer, can do FOIA requests, send emails, do Google searches, look at plane flights, examine microphone dimensions, and make connections between timeline evidence. There is nothing wrong with investigating, and it becomes more important as cooperation decreases and more lies are discovered.

Coleman asks Andrew Kolvet directly whether he lied when quoting the surgeon the first time, or if he quoted accurately and is now rolling over when called a liar. People are allowed to notice that Butch Hibbs shows up with a square precisely the size of a Road Wireless microphone and leaves without one. They're allowed to ask where it went. If it was mints or nicotine, where did it go in 25 minutes? Did he decide he liked bad breath or give up nicotine mid-performance?

Investigators are allowed to notice that Butch Hibbs lived in Heber City, that there's an airport there, that a flight went from Heber City to Nashville on the day the explosive was supposed to be delivered, and that there was no return flight. Who flies to Nashville from Heber City and drives home? This is called investigating - noticing patterns or pattern disruptions. Coleman emphasizes this is not calling Butch Hibbs a murderer or saying definitively that he picked up explosives, but rather noting that these things look suspicious when lined up together and asking if there's anything to investigate further.
