The unidentified drone swarm, described by retired General Mark Kelly as 'Close Encounters at Langley,' raised concerns in the White House about national security implications.
After 17 days of drone activity above the Langley Air Force Base, crucial military exercises were halted and F-22 jets were relocated for safety.
Alarmed by the persistent drone flights, proposals to disable the drones included using directed energy weapons, but practicality and public safety were prioritized, limiting responses.
Despite extensive surveillance efforts, including actions by the US Coast Guard and local police, the origins and operators of the drone swarm remained unidentified.
