Overview

• Candace Owens claimed an Egyptian Air Force plane with tail number SU-BTT left Provo after Charlie Kirk was killed and suggested a military operation.
• Flight-tracking data and a Community Note show the jet departed Provo at about 7 a.m. local time on September 10, hours before the shooting.
• Observers said Owens appeared to confuse UTC with local time, a mistake that invalidated her timeline.
• Owens doubled down after the correction, alleging a coordinated debunking effort and asking about the flight’s passenger manifest.
• Kirk was fatally shot September 10 at Utah Valley University, and authorities have arrested and charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson with no indication of additional suspects or foreign involvement.
