Mysterious UFO drones are reportedly surveilling America’s sensitive military sites, leaving the Pentagon struggling to take action against these aerial intruders, according to a recent report by the Wall Street Journal.
Over the past year, unidentified drones have been spotted flying over military installations in Virginia and Nevada, including the secret base for the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six and Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval port in the world.However, federal laws prevent the military from shooting down these drones due to potential risks to troops and civilians.
High-profile White House discussions have also ruled out jamming their signals, with concerns that such actions could disrupt emergency services, Wi-Fi networks, and commercial airliners, as reported by the New York Post.
Former US Air Force general Mark Kelly was first alerted to drone sightings in December 2023, when Langley Air Force Base officials reported dozens of drones flying over the facility at night. These sightings continued for 17 days, prompting suspicions that Russian or Chinese agents might be involved.
On January 6, 2024, a clue emerged when a Chinese student at the University of Minnesota, Fengyun Shi, was caught flying a drone near Langley. His drone, which had photographed Navy ships, was abandoned after getting stuck in a tree. Shi was arrested a week later as he prepared to board a flight to China and was charged with unlawfully photographing classified naval installations.
While US officials have confirmed similar drone swarms near Edwards Air Force Base in Nevada, the Defence Department has yet to publicly identify those behind these apparent surveillance efforts.
