HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) — Security is poised to tighten up at Joint Base Langley-Eustis following more than a dozen cases of mysterious drones flying overhead.

In an Wall Street Journal article published Saturday, it was detailed that over 17 days in December 2023 “a dozen or more” of the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) flew over the base where the F-22 Raptor stealth fighters — one of the main aircrafts used to help defend us here at home — are based.

One official is quoted to have said it was “unlike any past incursion.” Around dusk, “a dozen or more” of the Unmanned Aerial Systems would appear.
