F-22 Near Miss with Unidentified Object Outside Langley AFB: Drone Incursions Extended Beyond December 2023, as Questions are Raised About USAF Transparency

Liberation Times has obtained a U.S. Air Force Safety Center document revealing that in January 2024, an F-22 nearly collided with an ‘unidentified object’ over Joint Base Langley-Eustis, forcing the F-22 to alter its flight path.

The incident followed a series of incursions over the base in December 2023 by what were classified as 'uncrewed aerial systems' (UAS) or drones, though their origin and operators remain unknown.

The document, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, states that on 4 January 2024 over Joint Base Langley-Eustis:

‘F-22; Unidentified object near midair collision, deviation of flight path.’
