“Pentagon Puzzled by Mystery Drones Swarming Military Base”
October 13th, 2024Mmm hmm.
Via: Telegraph:
Unidentified drones spotted flying over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia have baffled US military officials who are not sure whether it is the work of hostile powers or hobbyists.
Airspace over Langley is restricted and the breach in December, first reported by the War Zone website, and which was reported to president Joe Biden, has triggered alarm among military experts.
The flights lasted 17 days, with the drones flying over the base about an hour after sunset.
In a statement, the US Air Force confirmed the breaches, but played down the potential threat.
“The number of UASs [uncrewed aerial systems] fluctuated and they ranged in size/configuration.
“None of the incursions appeared to exhibit hostile intent but anything flying in our restricted airspace can pose a threat to flight safety. The FAA was made aware of the UAS incursions.”
The parade of drones was witnessed by General Mark Kelly, from the US Air Force, the Wall Street Journal reported.
So much is happening to trigger their alarms: drones over their bases, F-35’s getting shot down in Ukraine, Hamas shooting back at Israel… good thing they are ignoring hurricanes because one more trigger going off might push them over their comfortable stress levels, maybe lead to second and third drinks at the Pentagon bar.
