Quote:Air Force's job to protect American airspace, not the Navy's. Having a base tasked with that mission, and its airspace getting penetrated for weeks on end is clearly not the best look, especially after major lapses in domain awareness and air defense capabilities were recently spotlighted by the Chinese Spy Balloon saga.

Quote:The installation first observed UAS [uncrewed aerial systems] activities the evening of December 6 [2023] and experienced multiple incursions throughout the month of December. The number of UASs fluctuated and they ranged in size/configuration," a spokesperson for Langley Air Force Base told The War Zone

Quote:The situation prompted a serious response and caused significant reverberations throughout the U.S. military.

Quote:NASA's trio of WB-57Fs are specialized research aircraft that can be configured to carry a wide array of imaging and other sensors and equipment in their noses and other modular payload bays. In cooperation with NASA, the U.S. military has made use of these aircraft on various occasions

Quote:It is important to note that this is not the first time that Langley and other U.S. military bases across the country, including outlying U.S. territories, as well as critical civilian infrastructure, have been subjected to mysterious drone overflights. U.S. warships have also been swarmed off the coasts of the United States. U.S. military aircraft are also routinely encountering drones in various test and training ranges and other restricted military operating areas. America's nuclear power plants have had very troubling encounters with drone swarms. Yet the frequency and nature of the incursions in Virginia sound eerily similar to the bizarre claims of unidentified drone swarms roving over the plains of Colorado in the Winter of 2019-2020. The government response to those incidents was something of a meek sideshow compared to what clearly occurred regarding the Langley incidents — a sign of just how much more serious these incidents are being taken.

Quote:All this is in addition to the strange encounters between U.S. Navy fighter aircraft and unidentified craft that have occurred persistently for years just off the coast of where Langley is located. Based on investigative reporting by The War Zone, some of these were directly identified as drones in pilot hazard reports obtained via FOIA.

Quote:Did you miss the bit about the F-16s? They ghosted over our house one night during this at just over stall speed, so low that we could see the load out.

If this is aliens, they’re just getting cheeky now. This base is tasked with stopping aircraft… ? ? ?

So this is ongoing and started back in December.

They are taking this very seriously.

To get a better look at these craft they had NASA come in with a specialized reconnaissance plane to get a better look. They haven’t shared if this was successful and they have images. If they were human drones they would have easily spotted and dismissed this as frivolous. So they are either alien or some foreign country.

Lots of these incidents are occurring with "drones" over highly sensitive areas yet they are never shot down or captured.

Remember the navy whistleblower before congress saying they saw them daily? This was right off the coast from this current incidents. 

Maybe the aliens are trolling the pentagon pushing them to disclose?

If it’s China, Russia, or some other country and we can’t stop these drones we are in real trouble if war breaks out.

Time for them to start publishing pictures and coming clean with what they know.

Also we need to UAS to UFO/UAP as term they are using.

According to one commenter they sent loaded f-16 after them:
Same link as above, look in comments section.

But if they can operate the way some of the whistle blowers have reported then we're looking at some serious breakthrough technology. Are other countries' military and nuclear facilities experiencing the same incidents with the same kind of tech? If so maybe it all about getting their attention and then selling to the highest bidder? I've thought a lot about this and other possibilities and I am honesty still on the fence as to what it could be. There's definitely something happening though and I have no doubt the military knows more than its saying.
