The Independent
|November 27, 2024
Dozens of British soldiers have been drafted in to help the US find out who is responsible for flying more mystery drones over three air bases in England.
A small number of drones were spotted overnight flying over RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and RAF Feltwell in Norfolk, the US Air Force confirmed yesterday.
Sources told the PA news agency around 60 troops have been deployed to help the US Air Force in its investigation of the incident. It said the number of sightings “fluctuated and varied between the bases” but the drones have not been identified as hostile.
