Unknown drone fleet breached US military base airspace in Virginia for 17 straight days

[FOX] A mysterious fleet of drones entered restricted airspace and swarmed a U.S. military base along the Virginia coast for 17 days late last year, stumping the Pentagon, according to a new report.

For several nights last December, U.S. military personnel reported witnessing a fleet of unknown unmanned aircraft breach restricted airspace over a stretch of land at Langley Air Force Base along Virginia's shore, the Wall Street Journal first reported.

The drones would start to arrive about 45 minutes to an hour after sunset each night, one official reportedly told U.S. Air Force Gen. Mark Kelly, who joined several other officers responsible for the country's most advanced jet fighters, including F-22 Raptors, on a squadron rooftop.

Kelly described the first drone he saw as roughly 20 feet long and flying at more than 100 miles an hour, at an altitude of roughly 3,000 to 4,000 feet. As many as a dozen or more drones followed, flying across Chesapeake Bay, and then traveling toward Norfolk, Virginia, and through a space overlooking the base for the Navy’s SEAL Team Six and Naval Station Norfolk, the world’s largest naval port, according to the Journal.

#2 And then having gotten use to them, their operators one day will strike. It's what the Egyptians did in practicing for crossing the Suez. The Israelis were put in a mindset that it was just another training run. Someone needs to send the chain of command notice of what happen to Gen. Short and Adm. Kimmel at Pearl Harbor.

Unlikely 'festive yoots'

Where is the 902nd?

Oh yeah...reorged.

Langley AFB

"On February 4, 2023, an F-22 Raptor took off from the base and shot down a Chinese balloon, marking the jet's first-ever combat air kill."

"17 days"
Peculiar they could scramble for a balloon but not a recurring fleet of a dozen survey drones.
