The U.S. military observed drones making “multiple incursions” late last year over or near sensitive military sights, including an air force base, with national and local officials still unable to produce an explanation for violations of heavily monitored airspace.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that mysterious uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) had been spotted around the Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia, shortly after sunset during a period of more than two weeks.
One senior official based at Langley told The Journal that multiple drones headed across Chesapeake Bay and further south toward the city of Norfolk. They reportedly traveled across the main base for the Navy’s lauded SEAL Team Six and Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval port.
The Langley base first saw the drones on the evening of December 6, and then “experienced multiple incursions throughout the month of December,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
