More 'unidentified drones' spotted flying over US air bases in UK

The US Air Force (USAF) has confirmed that unmanned devices ranging in "size and configuration" have been tracked over three RAF bases in Suffolk and Norfolk. Several “small unmanned aerial systems” were spotted

A small number of drones have again been spotted flying near US Air Force bases in Suffolk, a USAF spokesperson confirmed.

The news comes less than a week after a previous warning from the American military that clusters of "unidentified drones" have been spotted flying over RAF facilities, including one that has been tipped as a site that could hold US-made nuclear weapons.

The US Air Force (USAF) has confirmed that unmanned devices ranging in "size and configuration" have been tracked over three RAF bases in Suffolk and Norfolk. Several “small unmanned aerial systems” were spotted flying over RAF Lakenheith, RAF Middenhall, and RAF Feltwell between November 20 and 22.

As well as housing British air force units, RAF bases are also among several used by the USAF's Europe command to keep its own jets on standby. In a statement, a spokesperson for the US Air Forces in Europe, said they were unable to determine whether or not they were hostile.
