Mysterious drones buzzed over the Ohio base, forcing the temporary closure of its Class Delta airspace late Friday night and into Saturday morning, The War Zone first reported.

The base, home to the Air Force Research Lab, Air Force Material Command, and the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, is a cornerstone of U.S. military operations. Its cutting-edge research and intelligence missions make it a prime target for espionage or malicious activity.

On the night of December 13-14, 2024, Wright-Patterson AFB experienced significant Unidentified Aerial System (UAS) activity, requiring the closure of Class Delta airspace.
