Unidentified drones were spotted over three US Air Force bases in England from November 20 to 26, prompting an investigation by the USAF and UK Ministry of Defence. British military personnel are assisting in the enquiry.
Unidentified drones have been observed flying over three United States Air Force (USAF) bases in England over the past six days, a spokesperson for the USAF confirmed on Tuesday.
The drones, described as small unmanned aerial systems, were seen near RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell between November 20 and November 26. The three bases, located in Suffolk and Norfolk, are leased by the USAF from the British government.
A representative from the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) assured that the government "takes threats seriously" and maintains "robust measures" at defence sites. The MOD also confirmed that it is assisting the USAF in its response to the drone sightings.
In a report by PA Media, sources indicated that British troops have been deployed to support the investigation into the drones' origins. The Times newspaper reported that around 60 military personnel have been assigned to help with the enquiry.
According to a UK military source quoted by The Times, there are concerns that the drones may be part of a "sinister" plot, though no details were provided. Neither the MOD nor the USAF have responded to requests for further information regarding the deployment of troops.
The investigation continues as authorities seek to determine who is responsible for the recent drone activity over the American military bases.
