n Monday morning it was widely reported that a private jet ferrying Ursula Von Der Leyen to Plovdiv in Bulgaria was subject to \u201cGPS interference\u201d, and had to navigate using paper charts for the final part its journey.<\/p>\n

This was quickly blamed on Russia, a supposed attempt to assassinate, or at least intimidate the EU chief, and the reactions kicked into high-gear almost instantly.<\/p>\n

The Financial Times lead the pack, headlining<\/a> [emphasis added]:<\/p>\n

Ursula von der Leyen\u2019s plane hit by suspected<\/strong> Russian GPS interference<\/p>\n

ABC news<\/a> went with [more emphasis added]:<\/p>\n

EU head Ursula von der Leyen\u2019s plane hit by suspected<\/u><\/strong> Russian GPS interference<\/p>\n

The BBC<\/a> mixed it up a little [even more emphasis added]:<\/p>\n

EU chief von der Leyen\u2019s plane hit by SUSPECTED<\/u><\/strong> Russian GPS jamming<\/p>\n

Are you seeing a pattern?<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the AP claims<\/a> to have got all the information you need, adding that it\u2019s so completely definitely true that there isn\u2019t even any point in investigating it:<\/p>\n

Bulgaria will not investigate suspected Russian electronic interference with a top European official\u2019s plane, officials said Monday \u2014 because this kind of GPS jamming is now so common.<\/p>\n

Having established it definitely happened, Sky News turned to analysis<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Russia responds to GPS jamming accusations \u2013 but such instances are expected to escalate<\/p>\n

Euro News<\/a> is at full blown panic stations:<\/p>\n

What can Europe do to better defend against GPS interference from Russia?<\/p>\n

The good news is that NATO are going to save us, according to the Independent:<\/p>\n

NATO says it is working to counter Russia\u2019s GPS jamming after EU leader\u2019s plane incident<\/p>\n

The Conversation is asking the big question<\/a>, hinting at the grander agenda behind the story:<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s GPS interference: do I need to worry when flying?<\/p>\n

Got that everyone? Flying is scary. Putin might kill you. Probably safer to just stay at home.<\/p>\n

The counterpoint, appearing in comments sections all across social media, was that the alleged attack was likely a false flag, carried out by Ukraine or NATO.<\/p>\n

However, somewhat lost in the tug-of-war assigning blame was this simple fact: There was no evidence any \u201cGPS inteference\u201d had ever happened.<\/p>\n

The website FlightRadar24<\/a> monitors air traffic GPS and telemetry data for flights all over the world, and within a few minutes responded to this assertion with the following tweet:<\/p>\n

We are seeing media reports of GPS interference affecting the plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen to Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Some reports claim that the aircraft was in a holding pattern for 1 hour.<\/p>\n

This is what we can deduce from our data.<\/p>\n
