The account came from a senior U.K. military officer who received a briefing on the incident.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The drones were flying in with no lights. When they were close to the site, they were turning on the lights going, &lsquo;Here I am,&rsquo; and as far as I know, not one piece of our equipment could bring it down or spot it,&rdquo; the unnamed officer said.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>A police helicopter investigated the drones and made incredible discoveries.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They were traveling really fast, faster than anything they&rsquo;d seen before. From police helicopter footage, one of the drones was tracked traveling at 170 mph,&rdquo; the official said.<\/p>\n<p>The drones also took a reciprocal interest in the helicopter, which they followed but easily evaded.<\/p>\n<p>An infrared camera on the helicopter captured the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bidens-odd-comments-drone-mystery-raise-questions-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drones&rsquo;<\/a> unusual movements.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s very, very advanced technology. It can move very fast, and it can&rsquo;t be detected on any of the systems that we&rsquo;ve currently got,&rdquo; the official said.<\/p>\n<p>Incredibly, that includes detection equipment used by Special Forces, which proved useless.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, as if the drone encounters in England do not sound sufficiently alarming, it turns out that federal officials have known &mdash; and apparently done nothing &mdash; about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-jersey-mayor-suggests-drone-mystery-may-connected-missing-radioactive-material\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">drone<\/a> threats to U.S. bases dating back more than a year.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, that is not altogether true. They did something, the one thing for which federal officials possess undisputed talents: They wrote a report.<\/p>\n<p>For weeks in December 2023, drones &ldquo;swarmed&rdquo; Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, per the Daily Mail<\/p>\n<p>That security incident prompted &mdash; what else? &mdash; a report, co-authored by the Air Force, NASA, and the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>Much like the recent encounters in England, the Langley incident resulted in a near-total security failure.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the report called for more training, better communication, &ldquo;more robust notification and reporting system among partner agencies,&rdquo; and &mdash; perhaps most telling of all &mdash; &ldquo;better understanding of legal authorities [process] and capabilities of cUAS [anti-drone technology]\/detection systems.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In other words, those who respond to drones seem not to know what to do or how to do it.<\/p>\n<p>What, therefore, should Americans make of all this?<\/p>\n<p>For one thing, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/man-trump-picked-lead-fbi-victim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FBI&rsquo;s<\/a> involvement hardly inspires confidence. In fact, the Bureau&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/doj-inspector-general-releases-jan-6-bombshell-dozens-fbi-confidential-human-sources-crowd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tyrannical behavior<\/a> in recent years makes it unlikely that informed Americans will believe anything FBI agents have to say.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, however, we know that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/secret-service-scandal-follows-years-of-failures\/\" title=\"Secret Service Scandal Follows Years of Failures\">federal officials&#038;rsquo<\/a>; responses to the drone sightings can mean only two things.<\/p>\n<p>Either those officials know the drones&rsquo; origins and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-speaks-mystery-drones-government-knows-happening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refuse<\/a> to inform the public, or those officials have no idea where the drones have come from, how to counter them, or even how to detect them. Nor do they appear to have implemented any effective measures since the Langley incident last year.<\/p>\n<p>Neither explanation should make anyone feel better about the U.S. government or the drone situation in general.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

Until then, we are left to question whether U.S. government officials are deceitful or simply incompetent. Recently, the U.K.&#8217;s Daily Mail reported that high-speed drones were spotted near a U.S. airbase in eastern England last month, which is believed to house nuclear weapons. Federal authorities, including the FBI, have reportedly been aware of this drone threat to military sites for over a year. The Daily Mail&#8217;s alarming report detailed how drones began appearing at RAF Lakenheath on November 20 and included insights from a senior U.K. military officer who noted that these drones flew without lights until they approached their target area and then illuminated themselves\u2014indicating their presence\u2014while evading detection by existing equipment.<\/p>\n<p>A police helicopter investigated and found that one drone was recorded traveling at 170 mph and exhibited advanced technology that made it undetectable by current systems used even by Special Forces. Alarmingly, federal officials have seemingly done little about these threats despite being aware of them for an extended period; they did produce a report following similar incidents at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia last December but failed to implement effective countermeasures since then.<\/p>\n<p>This raises serious concerns about either the officials&#8217; knowledge of where these drones originate without informing the public or their complete lack of understanding regarding how to address this issue effectively\u2014all while failing to take meaningful action since previous encounters with drones occurred last year<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2381500,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/UK-Drone.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[7237,5591,47059,14429,24099],"class_list":["post-2381499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-drones","tag-fbi","tag-nuclear-base","tag-surveillance","tag-uk"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/UK-Drone.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2381499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2381499"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2381499\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2381503,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2381499\/revisions\/2381503"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2381500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2381499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2381499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2381499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
