On multiple nights, U.S. military personnel reported seeing a fleet of unidentified drones violating the airspace over a stretch of land at Langley Air Force Base along Virginia’s coast. The drones began approaching the area each night about 45 minutes to an hour after sunset, according to an official who reported this to U.S. Air Force General Mark Kelly, responsible for overseeing the country’s most advanced fighter aircraft, including the F-22 Raptors.

Kelly described the first drone he saw as being about six meters long and flying at over 161 kilometers per hour, at an altitude of about 914 to 1,219 meters.

Following this, twelve or more drones flew over Chesapeake Bay and then traveled toward Norfolk, Virginia, passing through an area overlooking the SEAL team base and the Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval port in the world, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The report highlighted that officials could not determine whether amateur operators or hackers from hostile nations like China and Russia were responsible for the mysterious fleet of drones.

The issue even reached U.S. President Joe Biden, and secret meetings were held at the White House in December 2023, as the Fox News network explained. These meetings involved the Department of Defense, the FBI, the Pentagon’s UFO office, as well as outside experts.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and the Department of Defense for comment on the matter. The Department of Defense referred Fox News Digital to Langley Air Force Base for more information but did not immediately respond to the inquiry. Neither did the White House.

It’s worth noting that, two months before the drone fleet appeared in Virginia, five mysterious unmanned aerial vehicles reportedly violated restricted airspace over a government nuclear weapons testing site in Nevada. Four of the drones were spotted by the National Security Site of the Department of Energy in Nevada, outside Las Vegas, while the fifth was detected by employees.

Since then, the facility has reportedly upgraded its detection system, but officials have not yet determined who violated the airspace.
