Freedom of Information Act requests by the Washington Examiner have returned four reports of unidentified airborne vehicle intrusions at sensitive U.S. government nuclear laboratories between March 2018 and April 2021. In each case, security officers failed to identify the operator of these apparent vehicles or their intent.

The reports bear attention for two reasons.

First, they raise the possibility of hostile foreign espionage targeting sensitive U.S. government research. Such espionage would feasibly offer significant military or technological value, as evinced by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's recent successful fusion ignition experiment. That development offers the prospect of a future of abundant clean energy. Reporting in June by The Drive offers indications that China is engaged in covert reconnaissance involving aerial drones. Three government and military sources have subsequently told me that Chinese aerial reconnaissance drone and Russian undersea reconnaissance drone activities are more widespread and capable than commonly understood.

The second point of relevance centers on at least one of the reports listing an apparent aerial vehicle of unconventional form, without visible lights or flight surfaces. This vehicle was seen near a former nuclear weapons research and production facility. Sightings of exceptional and/or unconventional unidentified flying objects in proximity to nuclear power and weapons facilities have been repeatedly reported by military aviators and highly capable satellite, video, radar, sonar, and other sensor systems. Congressional concern over the apparent breakthrough technologies exhibited by these UFOs has led to a major shake-up of related reporting and analysis programs.
