In addition to the air traffic control audio heard over Northern Australia, recordings revealed another B-2 bomber departed Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri on March 25 bound for Diego Garcia island.

The base notably houses all 20 of the Air Force's B-2 bombers.

Air Force Global Strike Command told TWZ of the movements: "A B-2 Spirit bomber arrived at Hickam Air Force Base.

"U.S. Strategic Command, its components, and subordinate units routinely conduct global operations in coordination with other combatant commands, services, and participating U.S. government agencies to deter, detect and, if necessary, defeat strategic attacks against the United States and its allies."

The Air Force Global Strike Command noted: "To preserve operational security, we do not discuss details about exercises or operations."

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has faced backlash after top cabinet officials accidentally added The Atlantic's Editor-in-Chief Jeff Goldberg to a Signal group chat discussing war plans against the Houthis, raising concerns about US vulnerability and national security.

After Goldberg's report on the shocking group chat was published, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted in an X post that the communication were not "war plans."

She wrote: "The Atlantic has conceded: these were NOT 'war plans.' This entire story was another hoax written by a Trump-hater who is well-known for his sensationalist spin."

In response, Goldberg claimed the White House were using semantics as "smokescreens" to avoid discussing the apparent national security risk.

He told ABC News: "It's just all nonsense. It's nonsense. They're throwing up all these smokescreens to avoid being questioned about why they were so reckless as to have sensitive conversations like this in Signal, and why they invited a journalist and didn't even know that the journalist was there.

"I mean, war plan, attack plan. I mean, you know, it's just not nonsense talk, but attack is actually an accurate term for what they were doing."

Goldberg also noted The Atlantic released screenshots from the Signal chat so the public could form their own opinion.

He said: "And I thought, you know, at the end of the day, I thought, okay, let's let the people decide, read these messages, read the plain English, and decide if you think it's appropriate that the Secretary of Defense and the National Security Advisor to the President of the United States should be saying these things on a commercial, privately run messaging app that they're not allowed to use, and you and then make your decision."
