Mystery Drones Spread to Ohio, Shut Down Wright Patterson, Cause Identified?

BY JEFF SKINNER

STATEWIDE - While national news cycles are currently being dominated by talk of drones over New Jersey, the issue has spread to the Midwest, as mysterious drones shut down air traffic over Wright Patterson Airforce base on Monday, December 16. While the Federal Government continues to be tight lipped with explanations about the situation, answers may have inadvertently come from a shipping report of missing radioactive material off the east coast. 

Some drone manufacturers, who have evaluated the footage provided by citizens and local law enforcement, have claimed the drones are surveillance drones. These experts have state the only reason they would be flying at night, when visibility is so low, is because they are using heat signature technology, potentially searching out for radiation signatures. This would also explain the low flight trajectory of the drones. Further backing up this claim was a released event report from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. According to the report, dated 12/5/24, Nazha Cancer Center reported to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) on December 3 that an Eckert & Ziegler model HEGL-0132, with the current approximate activity of 0.267 mCi sent for disposal has been lost in transit on December 2. According to the report, the shipping contain arrived at its destination empty with damage. It is currently unknown if this happened by accident or by nefarious actors. The material that had gone missing is considered a category 3 level radioactive material.

However, while this explanation might cover the sightings in Jersey and on the east coast it would not explain the recent flights which have shut down traffic at Wright Patterson Airforce base on Monday. On 12/16 airtraffic over the base was completely grounded when drone activity was detected. While the Federal Government has recently come out and claimed the activity is "legal and lawful," there has been no official explanation provided for the activity.
