The U.S. military has been fighting off a series of alarming drone invasions. Retired Pentagon official Chris Mellon confirms that “swarms” of unidentified drones were deployed from equally mysterious “mother ships.” The incidents have happened over “multiple U.S. military bases” including Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.
Provocative drone incursions
Mellon has some personal insight on 50 pages of Air Force records recently released. The report provides intriguing details “related to provocative ‘drone‘ incursions.” One general likes to call a set of incidents “Close Encounters at Langley.”
According to the investigation, “for at least 17 nights last December, swarms of noisy, small UFOs were seen at dusk ‘moving at rapid speeds‘ and displaying ‘flashing red, green, and white lights‘ penetrating the highly restricted airspace” above the Air Force base.
Nobody is suggesting that these particular unidentified objects flying around have extraterrestrial origins. These are clearly drone type unmanned aircraft made somewhere on planet Earth. They aren’t, however, made by any of the commercial manufacturers. While they could easily be used for aerial surveillance, they might not be.
The real reason seems more geared toward psychological warfare. Making no effort at all to avoid detection, they’re going out of their way to be seen. Whoever is flying them wants us to know that they’re there. And that we can’t do a thing about it. They’ve made the point.
Langley isn’t the only base being buzzed. The former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence relates that was only “part of a much larger pattern affecting numerous national security installations.” There are two really disturbing aspects.
“The fact our drone signal-jamming devices have proven ineffective and these craft are making no effort to remain concealed.” He went out of his way to emphasize the fact that “in some instances it is clear they want to be seen as though taunting us.”

Panic at Palmdale
Over on the West coast, Palmdale, California, is “is home to defense contractor Lockheed Martin’s classified ‘Skunk Works,’ which made the F-22.”
A spokesperson for nearby Edwards Air Force Base verified in August that “investigators were monitoring” the drone swarm attacks there to “determine if there is any ill intent” If not, they still need to know why and who is doing it.
“The government is stumped,” General Mark Kelly admits. He’s in charge of Langley as commander of its Air Combat Command. A drone swarm buzzing over “at least half the Air Force’s fleet of F-22 Raptor stealth fighters” is not a good thing. It “led to two weeks of emergency White House meetings.” Meetings which produced nothing. They dragged NASA into it.
NASA’s WB-57F can climb to 50,000 feet. They’re equipped with four cameras on the nose, “each tailored to pick up specific ‘colors’ or wavelengths from the electromagnetic spectrum.” Because the intruding drones are totally custom built from scratch, they don’t use the frequencies used by our jamming gear. “Air Force personnel equipped with ‘dronebusters’ — signal-jamming weaponry designed to counter remotely piloted enemy drones — reported that these mysterious craft ‘failed to register‘ on their anti-drone devices.”
“Over the past 10 months, Air Force investigators, local police and even NASA analysts operating the space agency’s high-tech WB-57F research plane have all taken a crack at trying to identify the mysterious craft — with no answers in sight.”
As much as they would like to, they’re not supposed to shoot the craft down over U.S. soil. The thing which really makes the Pentagon nervous is the way the drone swarm and it’s mothership connection are totally impervious to anything we can throw at them. Their “brazenness, range, flight duration, reliability, resistance to countermeasures and indifference to detection are confounding.“
