Mysterious Drones Have Descended Again On U.S. Air Bases In The United Kingdom (Updated) -- (still happening daily)
The War Zone ^ | Tyler Rogoway

Posted on 11/27/2024 4:34:57 AM PST by RoosterRedux

On Friday, The War Zone broke the news about a multi-drone incursion of the U.S. Air Force’s master fighter base in the United Kingdon, RAF Lakenheath. Since then, we have received information that the incursions were more widespread, occurring around multiple bases. Now we have confirmed that the drones are back near RAF Lakenheath as well as RAF Mildenhall, which is a very concerning development to say the least.

A U.S. defense official confirmed to us this morning that the drone flights have resumed near both installations. While RAF Lakenheath houses primarily squadrons of F-15E Strike Eagle and F-35A Joint Strike Fighters, RAF Mildenhall hosts strategic surveillance aircraft and aerial refueling tankers.

...

There is much about these events that we do not know. While “the number of UASs fluctuated and they ranged in size/configuration,” according to the USAF, exactly what their configurations were remains unclear as does their specific pattern of operations. We also don’t know what drone awareness capabilities are deployed to these bases and when they were installed, if so...

...

These latest incidents in the U.K. come 11 months after a similar rash of drone incursions occurred over Langley AFB in Virginia, a story TWZ exclusively broke in March. The USAF’s highly sensitive Plant 42 in Palmdale has also become a major drone incursion hotspot since then. Just last week another major scare occurred over a major Army testing area. There have also been real fears that Russia may attempt to strike NATO airfields with drones, which has led to major alert posture changes at some facilities.

There are claims that F-15E Strike Eagles were launched to investigate from the air during the RAF Lakenheath today. We received the same information during the first incursions last week, although we cannot confirm the fighters’ involvement in the response, flight tracking information posted online does appear to support this.

Why not launch drones to watch the drones?

Good point. The USAF might already be deploying drones or other measures to monitor these events, but they’ve released little to no information about what’s actually happening or how they’re responding. With these incidents reportedly occurring daily, the pressure on the Air Force to provide transparency and address public concerns will only continue to grow.

Fedgov bureaucrats have no imagination. And the military's generals are still wargaming a fight with Schicklegruber.

Or the media could just create fear and anxiety to get more hits and revenue.

Maybe they’ll get a streaming TV series out of it.

There’s a belief by some that if nukes are launched - aliens will stop them.

I've heard that too.

Of course, there are those who say, "Well, they didn't stop Hiroshima or Nagasaki."

True but Roswell followed and perhaps those blasts got us ‘on the map’ to be observed.

We know UFOs can shut down nuclear weapons facilities and have before.

But - no - I don’t want to rely on aliens to avoid blowing up the world. Just hope they (Deep State) don’t go to WW3 as the ‘keep Trump from power” plan.

How high are they? If they’re low enough maybe some skeet shooting is in order. Or nets from helicopters…anything to try and capture some.

Yep. A perfect description.

To that you might add..... "A three-ring clown circus."

In a different article about drone intrusions at the War Zone, they mention that the military is forbidden by law to shoot them down.

How high can your shotgun reach? 1000 ft? 2000ft? 5000ft?

Good point! Some have suggested that these "beings" might have encouraged humanity's nuclear development because nuclear reactions could potentially open interdimensional portals.

Interestingly, I recently heard someone speculate that if these beings are what we’ve historically referred to as demons or fallen angels, they might be attempting to use nuclear reactions (if they can create portals) as a way to regain access to what theologians describe as heaven...creating a backdoor, so to speak.

It’s a fascinating perspective to consider.

The War Zone author, Tyler Rogoway, insists on calling these U.S. air bases when referring to RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall, both of which are Royal Air Force (RAF) bases.

The names are correct on the official USAF websites: "Royal Air Force Mildenhall" (https://www.mildenhall.af.mil/) and "Royal Air Force Lakenheath" (https://www.lakenheath.af.mil/).

The physical signs on the bases correctly identify the bases as RAF.

I don't know about the drones at Lakenheath (no descriptions have been released yet), but the drones at Langley back in December flying at altitudes of 3,000 to 4,000 feet (to your point).

Military personnel noted that the Langley drones were seen flying in precise patterns and were described as being around 20 feet long and capable of speeds exceeding 100 kilometers per hour.

Obviously this is not a big problem since no one seems to be doing anything about it.

I read something last night on Reddit about these drones flying at altitudes that our civilian drones could not operate because of the thermal impact on batteries.

I still think these are “ours” and our mil knows where they came from and where they went.
