One Week In—And We're Just Getting Started

After the first week, I want to update you and thank you.

We are truly humbled by the incredible response to our reader-owned investment opportunity.

In just one week:

Over $600,000 has already been raised
More than $1.26 million is currently in our investment funnel
300,000+ shares have been sold

This has exceeded our expectations—and it's proof that readers like you believe in building a new kind of news. Thank you!

A quick reminder:

Our 10% bonus shares end after the first $1 million is raised.
Flyover readers get an additional 5% bonus shares on top of that.

Why does this matter? Because legacy media is failing. They've traded trust for clicks, personalities, and corporate agendas. We saw that vacuum—and we filled it. The Flyover exists to deliver fact-first, common-sense news for common-sense Americans, with no corporate boss to answer to. Our only boss is you, our readers.

And now, you can own it.

Shares are just $2 each with a minimum investment of $750. Rarely do readers have the opportunity to own the news they trust. We'd be honored to have you join us and help shape the future of The Flyover.

Invest today and be part of the movement.

Meteorite's Age Rekindles Interest

The public's fascination with the meteorite that tore through a McDonough home in late June flared anew after Friday's report of its estimated age.

University of Georgia geologist Scott Harris identified the meteorite as originating from an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, likely from a breakup 470 million years ago.

"One of the reasons that scientists are interested in studying them is it shows us about some of the processes that were active during the early days of the solar system," Harris said.

Witnesses across the South saw the daylight fireball before it smashed through the roof, ductwork, and ceiling, leaving a small crater in the floor.

CDC Shooter Upset with COVID Vaccine

The gunman who opened fire near the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention headquarters in Atlanta blamed the COVID-19 vaccine for making him depressed and suicidal, authorities said.

DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose, 33, was killed in the shooting, and the gunman, Joseph Patrick White, 30, of Kennesaw, also died.

White, who had been turned away from the CDC campus before the shooting, was reportedly fixated on anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.

Rose, a father of two with a third child on the way, served with the department since September 2024.

Buc-ee's Details Newest Store Plans

The opening of a Buc-ee's in Monroe County will bring about 200 full-time jobs and $10 million in road improvements, including new traffic lights and roundabouts.

Buc-ee's unveiled plans for the store and gas station off I-75 and Rumble Road on Friday, setting an opening date of March 2027.

The store will be Georgia's fourth Buc-ee's location, joining sites in Calhoun, Warner Robins, and one in Brunswick that opened July 1.

One System Solving Three Crises at Once

What if your next investment could help fight climate change, end water scarcity, secure America's renewable energy future, and bring upside to your portfolio? With Vero3, it can.

They developed a zero-waste system that cleanly produces lithium and water, and permanently stores carbon.

Backed by $25M+ in public funding and 18 years of research, they're aiming to capture 3 million tons of carbon, produce 2.3 billion gallons of clean water, and supply 9,000 tons of lithium at some of the lowest costs in the industry.

Now, they're scaling this breakthrough system across more than $300B in combined market opportunities. No wonder they're targeting a Nasdaq listing by 2027.

And you're invited to share in Vero3's growth as an early-stage investor today.

Wyoming's on the Verge of Becoming A Lithium Powerhouse

America needs 5X more lithium by 2035, but no new mines have opened since 1967. Meanwhile, current extraction methods are slow, waste insane amounts of water, and emit loads of carbon.

So Vero3 devised a way to not only cleanly produce 9K tons of lithium, they'll generate 2.3B gallons of clean water and permanently store 3M tons of carbon in the process – all from the same 12,000-acre Wyoming site.

This first-of-its-kind project is already backed by $25M in federal funding and projects $183M in annual revenue.

It's the kind of zero-waste, vertically integrated model legacy operators can't match. Even better? Shares are now open to the public ahead of commercial trials and a targeted 2027 Nasdaq IPO.
