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.

Drone incursions into restricted airspace was already worrying national-security officials. Two months earlier, in October 2023, five drones flew over a government site used for nuclear-weapons experiments. The Energy Department’s Nevada Nuclear Security Site outside Las Vegas detected four of the drones over three days. Employees spotted a fifth.

If they are on drones.
P
Agreed—the base commander was derelict in their duty imho.
At least capture one for inspection—do it and let the lawyers debate about it later.
What do you expect from this administration and their woke values and deficient military.
Probably came from the Chinese Communist Party’s Military Base just down the road , the one the democrats built for them
Recently, the Pentagon is always stumped.
It was too hot up there
Good one!
“STOP insulting me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Why? It’s worked so far.
Are these officers the same ones that were “stumped” when Chinese balloons flew over sensitive military installations? What a bunch of pathetic stumped clowns. More importantly, were some of those stumped homosexuals, transsexuals and low IQ nitwits? The DEI office wants to know!
This is beyond stupid. Of course they know what those drones are. They’re low and slow and could easily be brought down.
Another dumb attempt to scare the public.
“The idea is to fly the drones over military bases to see if they could be electronically neutralized.”

I can’t help but think there must be some new funding requests associated with this “field testing”. New concerns mean money for more projects. Just saying.

Untold billions spent on the world's most advanced and sophisticated surveillance systems yet he's on a rooftop trying to get visual confirmation. Sounds a bit like a PR stunt. There's something totally absurd about this story.
Has anyone considered SHOOTING THEM DOWN!
The geniuses that run the military need to consult with DC lawyers before taking any action....
Clowns.
Or just following them in a chopper to see where they go when they leave the base.
I can’t help but feel these drones were our own skunk-works creations.
If they were doing it for 17 days they were just testing our own stuff.
