Drones
Used AI to summarise multiple reddit posts that contained links. Formatting sucks for my eyes, but whatever. Will be trying to document as much footage/images around these ’UFO’ or ‘Drone’ sightings here as possible.
Part 1: United Kingdom Incidents (November 2024)
• Location: U.S. military bases in the UK: RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell.
• Events:
• Unidentified drones breached highly secure airspaces over several days.
• Countermeasures such as the Orcus counter-drone system, deployment of 60 British troops, and F-15 fighter jets were ineffective.
• The drones evaded radar, jamming, and interception—suggesting advanced technology far beyond commercial capabilities.
• Whistleblower Revelations:
• Similar incidents occurred earlier, including at Langley AFB.
• Drones displayed sophisticated maneuvers and a high degree of stealth, with no effective response mechanisms available.
• Drones would turn on lights near bases, seemingly as a taunt, and none of the deployed equipment could bring them down.
• Whistleblower testimony is documented in a Daily Mail report.
Part 2: U.S. Drone Incursions (November–December 2024)
• Initial Reports:
• Sightings began mid-November in New Jersey (NY Post), rapidly spreading across 36 states.
• Witnesses described drones as SUV-sized, with bright, pulsating lights or orb-like appearances (The Sun).
• Governor Murphy of New Jersey stated, “The drones are very sophisticated. The moment you get your eyes on them, they go dark” (NY Post).
• Technological Anomalies:
• NJ police investigations revealed the drones have no heat signatures (NewsNation).
• Reports suggest drones with zero thermal emissions, an unprecedented feat of stealth technology.
• Notable Locations Breached:
• Military installations such as Wright-Patterson AFB, Picatinny Arsenal, and Camp Pendleton.
• Nuclear sites and emergency service airspaces have also been impacted (NJ.com).
• Key Events:
• Airports like Logan International faced shutdowns due to drone activity.
• A Chinese national was arrested for flying a drone over Vandenberg Space Force Base.
• A Coast Guard witnessed a swarm of drones emerging from the ocean (NewsNation).
Part 3: Broader Global Incidents
• Additional Locations:
• Rammstein Air Base in Germany reported similar breaches.
• Nuclear facilities worldwide experienced a massive uptick in drone sightings.
• Arrests vs. Mystery:
• Local arrests for reckless drone operations (NY Post) contrast with the lack of accountability for coordinated incursions.
Patterns and Implications
• Shared Characteristics:
• Drones are large, brightly lit, and capable of advanced evasive maneuvers.
• Operate primarily at night and hover near sensitive or secure locations.
• Unanswered Questions:
• What entity or entities are responsible?
• Are these drones conducting surveillance, testing defenses, or posing an active threat?
• Why has identification or interception proven so difficult?
Conclusion
The scale, sophistication, and global spread of these drone incursions suggest a challenge to existing defense systems and raise critical questions about national and global security. Whether the work of a state actor, private entity, or an unknown force, these incidents demand urgent investigation and effective countermeasures.
