Look at the screenshot from the spectrum analyzer. That's a very specific signal, uniform in power, centered on the L1 frequency, and contained to a 1MHz bandwidth. That's intentional, not some random event.

It surly looks like intentional jamming but I did not want to draw any conclusions that are not in the source. It certainly does not look like any random event but it could still be unintentional, e.g. someone just forgot to turn of his GPS jammer or accidentally broadcasts on that frequency, but that is admittedly not the most plausible explanation. I am also not sure how big a deal the whole thing is, I would assume that GPS jamming is not too uncommon to protect potential high profile target.
