For 17 nights in late 2023, for example, between one and two dozen brightly-lit objects flew at any one time over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. Beyond forcing the cancellation of nighttime training missions and the transfer of highly advanced fighter jets to another base, the incidents left the military so perplexed that it tasked a special NASA aircraft equipped with sophisticated cameras to investigate the objects.

Somehow, despite nightly incursions stretching over weeks, no verified imagery of the “drones” has emerged beyond a video showing numerous blinking lights in the sky. According to Glen VanHerck, the recently retired commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command, “our most advanced” aircraft attempted to identify the objects with “extremely limited results.”
...
Gen. Mark Kelly, a decorated Air Force pilot and the commander of Air Combat Command, observed the incursions personally, likening the brightly illuminated objects moving across the night sky to a science fiction film: “Close Encounters at Langley.”

Would an adversary expose its ultra-stealthy technology so dramatically and consistently in full view of the U.S. military? If so, to what end?
What kind of craft, despite displaying bright flashing lights and flying in formation, can operate with complete impunity — avoiding radar and visual detection while resisting counter-drone technology — above a key military base?
Alarmingly, identical incursions occurred for several nights in November over sensitive American military bases in the U.K. According to witnesses, dozens of brightly-lit objects “hovered” and exhibited extreme performance characteristics while evading detection and multiple advanced counter-drone systems. Notably, the incidents began over RAF Lakenheath, which was the site of one of the most puzzling historical UFO incidents. The base is also slated to host U.S. nuclear weapons once again, raising an array of urgent national security concerns.

You guys know it’s a UFO only because you don’t know what it is. If you identify it as a UFO that makes it an FO. So long as it’s flying, if it lands then it just becomes an O.
Very true. The military has them (facts), such as they are, and we do not.
Ergo, we are reduced to speculation.
As to counter-drone technology, that's important. If we cannot protect our F-22 fleet at Langley AFB from drones, we have a gaping hole in our national defense.
And that is one admission by the AF and DOD that we might count as a fact.
Unless they are lying.
DoD and government lying? Are you insane man 🤣🤣🤣🤣

He passed away a few years ago.
As an aside, he did return to FR as a quiet re-tread. I encouraged him to get loud but he wouldn't do it.
Or... They could be $99 drones... That’s the thing about these drones... They keep dropping in price because there really isn’t all that much to them.
They’re essentially toys that can be turned into more nefarious objects by bad characters. But they could also just be drones being used by teenagers or kids down the road having fun.

It must be so cool to know alien logic.
Dig into the story. These big drones.
These ARE big drones. Not good at typing on phone.;-)
I wish these aliens would turn on a TV, get the location of Skinwalker Ranch, retrieve their spacecraft buried in the mesa, and get the heck off our planet!
What if they think it’s their planet.
if they’re DEI airmen...yes a 1/2lb drone would scare them shitless.
Have you noticed how many people will ask you what time it is?
When they ask me I respond with, "Maybe you should check that portable supercomputer you have in your pocket that has a built in clock that is displayed when you pick it up".
It seems that the more humans have access to something, the less they care about or use it.

The scale of space is so great (infinite) that travel between living beings, from any other solar system, if that is even possible, isn’t going to happen.
Sorry to disappoint anybody.
the only channel aliens need to watch is the shopping channel. they’ll find everything they need to know about humans there.
I’ve got 4 or 5 drones. Each cost less than $50.
The one that cost $30 is brushless, has obstacle avoidance, has flashing lights. You can get them with night vision, thermal vision (infrared imaging), auto return, all kinds of stuff.
I’m not claiming the ones in the news are like mine. Just stating that fairly advanced ones can he had pretty cheaply.You can even get ones that you can mount a weapon on or that will carry a package and drop it off .
