The official narrative surrounding the unusual aerial activity over RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell between November 20 and 25, 2024, is clear: these objects are classified as drones, not UFOs.

The Pentagon has confirmed the active monitoring of unidentified drones observed over U.S. military bases in England, as stated by spokesperson Major General Patrick Ryder. During a press conference, Ryder emphasized that investigations are ongoing to determine the drones’ origin and purpose. He assured the public that the incursions have not impacted residents, facilities, or assets at the bases. Ryder highlighted the growing prevalence of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and the importance of safeguarding personnel and resources, reiterating the Department of Defense’s commitment to addressing these incidents with vigilance.

Between November 20 and 25, 2024, multiple unidentified drones were observed over RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell in Suffolk and Norfolk, England.

RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell are situated remarkably close to one another, with distances that underscore their strategic proximity. RAF Lakenheath is just 4.55 miles (7.33 km) from RAF Mildenhall, and 4.99 miles (8.04 km) from RAF Feltwell. Meanwhile, RAF Mildenhall and RAF Feltwell are separated by only 8.16 miles (13.14 km). These short distances confirm the bases’ clustered location, which could play a crucial role in understanding the reported aerial activity in the area, as objects moving between them would traverse the spaces in mere minutes.

These drones, varying in size and configuration, prompted the U.S. Air Force to closely monitor the situation. Officials have assured the public that these incursions did not affect base residents or critical infrastructure. In response to the incidents, approximately 60 British military personnel have been deployed to the affected bases to strengthen security measures. The Royal Air Force has implemented the ORCUS counter-drone system, designed to detect, track, identify, and neutralize hostile drones.

These drone sightings coincide with heightened geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Russia’s response to Western support for Ukraine. The proximity of these drones to bases housing advanced U.S. military assets, including facilities designated for nuclear weapons storage, has raised serious concerns about potential espionage or sabotage. The U.S. Air Force, in collaboration with British authorities, continues to monitor the airspace and has withheld specific details about protective measures to maintain operational security. Investigations are ongoing to determine the origin and intent behind these drone incursions.

Patrick Jackson, author of Quantum Paranormal, has been actively engaging with unidentified aerial phenomena near RAF Lakenheath. Approximately 30 minutes from the base, he recorded a substantial sphere-shaped object moving toward the airbase. Jackson shared this observation on social media, using hashtags like #TheSphereNetwork, #ufotwitter, #uaptwitter, and #ufox to connect with the broader UFO research community.

In his investigative work, Jackson has employed various methods to interact with these phenomena, including the use of lasers. He theorizes that these spheres are advanced AI-driven drones operating within a global defense network, a concept he explores in his book, Quantum Paranormal.

While Jackson’s observations are part of a broader effort to understand these phenomena, official investigations by the U.S. Air Force and British authorities continue to focus on identifying the origin and intent of the drone incursions. The use of lasers in such investigations is a subject of debate, as it may pose risks to both the observer and the observed objects. As the situation develops, contributions from independent researchers like Jackson provide additional perspectives, though they are distinct from official military assessments.

John, located near a sensitive military base in Colorado, described a sighting on November 25, 2025, where black spheres flew silently and spun rapidly against normal wind patterns. These objects moved into a nearby mountain, with some flying in perfect formation. At the 26-second mark of his video, additional spheres appeared, descending toward the main group. Despite contacting Fort Carson and other local sources, no clear explanations were provided. Personnel at the base acknowledged seeing similar objects but could not identify them, fueling speculation about their advanced nature.

In a previous incident, John Bell’s approach to observing UFOs—using night vision equipment and a laser pointer—parallels Patrick Jackson’s recent activities near RAF Lakenheath. Both researchers employ accessible tools to detect and document aerial phenomena that are invisible or unnoticed by the naked eye. While Bell focuses on interpreting mysterious light patterns in Florida, Jackson utilizes similar techniques in England, shining lasers at unidentified spheres to explore potential interactions. These efforts highlight how simple, affordable technologies can open new avenues for enthusiasts and researchers to investigate and document the unexplained.

Some researchers propose that Earth’s airspace is monitored or controlled by non-human entities, particularly through advanced, sphere-shaped aerial objects. These objects are believed to display intentional behavior and may act as guardians of specific zones, potentially influencing human activities. Some researchers speculate that “Tall White” extraterrestrials have influenced U.S. policies since the mid-20th century, allegedly collaborating with leaders like President Eisenhower.

High-resolution infrared images of UAPs, reportedly leaked from the Legacy Program’s “Immaculate Constellation” initiative, depict advanced “orb” and “mothership” designs surveilling sensitive locations, including nuclear sites. These images were shared anonymously to prompt public scrutiny and highlight their anomalous nature, sparking debates over their origins.

This is highly significant in light of the recent meeting detailed in the testimony “UAP: Exposing the Truth,” where critical evidence about unidentified aerial phenomena was presented to lawmakers. The release of high-resolution IR images, combined with ongoing investigations and public disclosures, underscores the urgency of addressing these sightings. These developments suggest a pivotal moment in understanding the implications of UAPs, with increasing transparency potentially reshaping public perception and governmental policies regarding the phenomenon.
