U.S. officials don’t know who is behind the drones that have flown unhindered over sensitive national-security sites—or how to stop them
U.S. Air Force Gen. Mark Kelly wasn’t sure what to make of reports that a suspicious fleet of unidentified aircraft had been flying over Langley Air Force Base on Virginia’s shoreline.
Kelly, a decorated senior commander at the base, got on a squadron rooftop to see for himself. He joined a handful of other officers responsible for a clutch of the nation’s most advanced jet fighters, including F-22 Raptors.
For several nights, military personnel had reported a mysterious breach of restricted airspace over a stretch of land that has one of the largest concentrations of national-security facilities in the U.S. The show usually starts 45 minutes to an hour after sunset, another senior leader told Kelly.
The first drone arrived shortly. Kelly, a career fighter pilot, estimated it was roughly 20 feet long and flying at more than 100 miles an hour, at an altitude of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 feet. Other drones followed, one by one, sounding in the distance like a parade of lawn mowers.
It’s an interesting story that has been reported on previously within UFO circles (see vid below). I hate to sound like a conspiracy crank but I smell government disinformation in this article.
Think of the premise – Run of the mill drones overflying sensitive US installations on numerous well documented occasions and the armed forces are constrained from downing them because “Federal law prohibits the military from shooting down drones near military bases in the U.S. unless they pose an imminent threat. Aerial snooping doesn’t qualify, though some lawmakers hope to give the military greater leeway.” And where better to publish disinformation but in the well regarded Wall Street Journal.
Something fishy this way smells and I wonder if the article’s release wasn’t triggered by the revelation of Immaculate Constellation.
A lively discussion on this article can be found on Reddit.
