Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, temporarily closed its airspace for approximately four hours late Friday night into early Saturday morning due to unauthorized drone activity. Base officials reported sightings of small unmanned aerial systems in the vicinity, prompting the airspace closure as a precautionary measure. Robert Purtiman, a spokesperson for the base, confirmed the incident, which has raised concerns among local residents and officials regarding the security implications of such drone incursions. This incident follows a series of similar drone sightings over military installations in other states, including New Jersey and New York, leading to increased scrutiny and calls for action from government officials to address the issue of unidentified drones in U.S. airspace.
