Interactive map reveals disturbing pattern in drone sightings across the US (military bases)

An interactive map has revealed a disturbing pattern in drone sightings across the US.

An unexplained drone invasion has targeted America's military bases worldwide since October, beginning with a swarm over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.

The pattern became evident when similar activity was reported over New Jersey's Picatinny Arsenal on November 18.

Less than one week later, US bases in England and Germany began grappling with incursions by 'small unmanned aerial systems.'

Back in America sightings were gaining traction. 'Multiple' instances of drones appeared over New Jersey's Navy weapons station, and Ohio's Wright-Patterson Air Force Base closed its airspace due to similar activity on December 13.

The list of affected bases continues to grow, with one in Texas joining the ranks after drones were spotted on December 18.

In White Settlement —home to the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth and Lockheed Martin—residents and police officers observed drones flying in formation about 100 feet in the air, sometimes hovering in groups of six.

...

A Picatinny Arsenal spokesperson told DailyMail.com: 'We can confirm that they are not the result of any Picatinny Arsenal or DEVCOM Armaments Center (formerly ARDEC) directed actions.'

Shortly after, reports began to emerge at US bases in England and Germany.

From November 20 to 26, 'small unmanned aerial systems' were spotted in the vicinity of and over three US bases Norfolk and Suffolk counties, England: RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall and RAF Feltwell.

Just two weeks later, unidentified drones were spotted over the US Ramstein Air Base in Germany on December 3 and 4.

About ten days later, the Joint Staff of the Naval Weapons Station Earle in Monmouth County stated they were aware of reports of drones entering the base's airspace, though the exact timing of the incursions is unknown.

Naval Weapons Station Earle (NJ) loading docks. Drones with bad intentions could do a lot of damage.

Friends of Biden/0bama?

Waiting for Trump to take office?

Scary scenarios!

“President-elect Donald Trump said, “The government knows what is happening,” adding, “Look, our military knows where they took off from — if it’s a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went, and for some reason they don’t want to comment.”

Trump added, “And I think they’d be better off saying what it is. Our military knows and our president knows. And for some reason, they want to keep people in suspense.”

From your source, here's a snippet about recent Picatinny news:
The U.S. Army’s Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center at Picatinny Arsenal has been developing robotic drones capable of countering weapons of mass destruction, with a $50 million contract awarded in 2018.

More on the Picatinny Arsenal from the NYPost:

New Jersey weapons research arsenal also develops drones, as state flooded with mystery aircraft sightings

They had better stay out of Santa’s way. There are lots of us kids who are counting on him.

Either they originate from the bases and thus are a psyop against the U.S. population OR they are Chinese spy drones and are operating with impunity from the Biden admin which then is guilty of treason.

Yep, I still think it is just a huge secret maneuver and drill. Possibly also heightened security because of Biden’s screw ups placing our bases at risk.

Nuclear sniffer drones. Over 80 warheads disappeared from Ukraine when they gave up their nukes. At least one remains unaccounted for, supposedly. Perhaps intelligence has info that it has been moved to a US military location.

NATO (or at least NATO supplied weapons) is attacking deep inside Russian territory, attacking weapons and oil facilities. A nuke moved to US soil would not be a surprise.

That's a possibility. But why fly them over civilian neighborhoods at the same time and then deny it? That just damages the trust people have in our institutions (including the military). And that trust is already at an all time low.

I don't think it's our military because bureaucracies (including the military) are risk averse...and this is a very risky move.

There are too many loose ends for any hypotheses to make good sense.

It's just one giant headscratcher.

Why would we be sniffing for a nuclear warhead at our own military facilities?

And if we were "sniffing" for a nuke, why not create a cover story (like "The drones are mapping or surveying, or performing regular periodic inspections of utility infrastructure)?

Why scare the hell out of civilians by buzzing their neighborhoods (including Trump's Bedminster golf course)?

Sniffers. The reason the government won’t comment is to avoid widespread panic.

Think about this - that pudge little lesbian Sideshow Bob press secretary knows what’s up but you do not.

If that's the case, why not devise a cover story that doesn't create panic.

Saying, "We don't know what they are" IS creating panic.

They’re no nuclear sniffer drones... You’d need a detailed search grid pattern of specific low altitudes with like equipped drones and it would be obvious.

Ground search would be far more effective and efficient.

That description always makes me laugh

Except that it’s often the public face of the Democrat Joe Biden Disastrous Administration

We have to remember they have intel we do not have. Maybe they are aware of a possible threat against us. But you are right, why not just invent a cover story to prevent panic rather than silence and deflection.

They are doing it at night, NOT day. Why at US bases? Where better to blow a small nuke than at a military base or important infrastructure?

If these were Chinese or Iranian, or Russian drones spying, or otherwise, why would they be carrying Navy lights, meeting FSA requirements? The want to spy but not break any laws? Really?

These are USGOV drones, doing something the USGOV does not want the American people to find out.

How panicky would the population be if the USGOV came out and announced:
‘We believe that the Iranians have smuggled in an old Ukrainian nuke into the US. We don’t know where it is, but don’t worry, be calm. Remember, this is the same USGOV that abandoned Afghanistan almost overnight, leaving many US citizens to the custody of the Taliban. Also, this is the same USGOV, that so ably prevented President-elect Donald Trump’s assassination by Thomas Matthew Crooks.’?

An announcement like that, there’d be PLENTY of panic!

As Fox Mulder would say, “Trust no one!” (especially YOUR GOVERNMENT!)
