I know nothing. I see nothing.

And their non-response further damages the public's faith in the USAF, the military, and the government...and they just don't give an eff.

They think we are stupid.

It would be very interesting if Trump wins and assigns Musk, Vivek, and Tulsi the job of cleaning out the dead wood in the government (starting with the Pentagon).

BTW, this general (Guillot) is out-and-out lying about these being small "hobby" drones.

Civilian videos and Gen. Mark Kelly's comments indicate that these drones are 20 ft in length and stayed aloft for extended periods over the base before heading east (presumably out to sea).

Also, some reports describe a "mothership" as being around the size of a school bus (or larger). This craft was seen hovering over the James River and was speculated as serving as a coordinating vehicle, potentially deploying or directing smaller (20 ft) drones in the area.

This description adds an interesting dimension to the sightings, particularly because it implies a level of technological sophistication far beyond typical commercial, even known military, drones. Observers noted that the mothership was seen moving in coordinated patterns with the other drones, though its exact purpose or origin remains unknown, adding to the mystery surrounding these incursions​ This "mothership" theory has also fueled speculation about potential foreign surveillance or even more unusual explanations, given that it reportedly evaded the base’s advanced detection systems.

Furthermore, these incursions over Langley AFB persisted for 17 consecutive nights.

Observations indicated that drones appeared shortly after sunset and operated for hours before disappearing around midnight. This pattern of nightly activity raised serious security concerns, as the drones consistently returned to restricted airspace despite attempts by the base’s security forces to track or intercept them.

No pictures or videos of this mothership? If only people carried something in their pocket that could take pictures.

A guy living across the James River has a lot of videos, but since the incursion occurred at night, all you can see is lights.

I'll see if I can locate a video for you.

Clean them all out and start over, rehiring on case by case basis.

That would work just fine. All the AF needs is one (so-called drone) to study.
