Unidentified Drones Spotted Over US Air Bases in the UK

Reports confirm the sighting of multiple unidentified drones near key military installations in Britain.


Between Wednesday and Friday, a series of incidents involving unidentified small unmanned aerial systems (UASs) occurred over three significant US Air Force air bases in the UK. The facilities include RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk, as well as RAF Feltwell in Norfolk. The USAF has recognized these sightings but remains unclear about whether the drones pose a threat, stating they retain the right to protect their installations. Airspace in these regions is under close monitoring, with a commitment to working with local authorities to ensure safety.

Military sources confirmed that the drones, described as "small unmanned aerial systems," were seen fluctuating in number and size over the bases. The USAF’s Europe spokesperson stated that the incursions have not adversely affected base residents or critical infrastructures. Notably, RAF Lakenheath serves as the home for fighter jets, while RAF Mildenhall houses the US Air Force's refueling wing.

A spokesperson for the British Ministry of Defence underscored the seriousness with which threats are approached at defense sites and highlighted the implementation of robust counter-drone security measures, although further details on these security procedures remain undisclosed.

Authorities continue to monitor the airspace while collaborating with host-nation entities to secure the safety of personnel and assets involved in these military operations.
