The 63-year-old is believed to have spent time allegedly hunting for alien life forms in a local state park.
Some of the notes obtained by police are reportedly centred around different world order theories, including the idea that shape-shifting reptilian creatures take on human form in an attempt at world domination.
Authorities are also looking into the idea that IT-expert Warner may have been motivated to target an AT&T building due to paranoia over 5G technology.

The RV was parked outside an AT&T transmission building, which was also damaged in the explosion.

It is believed Warner thought he would be "hailed a hero" for the bombing.

A witness recalled the stark warning stating: '"Evacuate now. There is a bomb. A bomb is in this vehicle and will explode."
The audio then switched to Petula Clark's 1964 hit "Downtown", shortly before the blast on the downtown streets of .
Pals and neighbours told how the IT consultant surrounded his home and RV with "No Trespassing" signs.
Warner had previously told his neighbour, Rick Laude less than a week before the bombing: "Nashville and the world is never going to forget me."
