This is a click bait title!! The US military is NOT conducting these tests, yet your title leads one to believe they actually are conducting the tests. The Texas military? Really? What is that? Texas Guard? National Guard? Russian Federation? Come on, you can report better than this!

PS: "The Texas Military Department is composed of the three branches of the military in the state of Texas. These branches are the Texas Army National Guard, the Texas Air National Guard, and the Texas State Guard. All three branches are administered by the state Adjutant General, an appointee of the Governor of Texas, and fall under the command of the Governor."
