Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton Closes Airspace for Four Hours Due to Small Unmanned Aerial Systems
Dec 16, 2024, 04:27 PM
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, temporarily closed its airspace for approximately four hours late Friday night into early Saturday due to unauthorized drone activity. The base, which is home to critical Air Force units, confirmed the airspace closure following reports of drones spotted in the vicinity. Base spokesperson Robert Purtiman referred to the drones as 'small unmanned aerial systems.' This incident is part of a broader trend of drone incursions affecting military installations across the United States, raising concerns among officials about security and the lack of clear explanations regarding the source of these drones. The Pentagon has indicated that it does not believe the drones involved in this incident are related to other recent drone sightings at sensitive sites nationwide.
