Germany's Der Spiegel magazine said drones were also seen over facilities belonging to the Rheinmetall arms maker. It comes after US authorities said there was no evidence of a threat over drone sightings in New Jersey.

Summary

Unidentified drones were recently spotted over the US air base in Ramstein, Germany, and facilities belonging to German arms maker Rheinmetall, according to Der Spiegel.

Similar sightings occurred earlier in Brunsbüttel, with some officials suspecting Russian espionage, though no evidence has been confirmed.

The US Air Force stated the Ramstein base experienced “no impacts” and is monitoring the airspace with German authorities.

This follows reports of drone sightings in New Jersey and at UK air bases, which US authorities say do not currently pose a national security threat.

    I imagine the drones are some product launch by amazon or some delivery service-- or some idiotic stunt by Elon Musk. The amateurish and ineffectual buzz manufacturing has Musk written all over it.

    The fact that the government knows its not a threat means they know exactly what it is and just dont feel like telling us. I hope people remember later that this nonsense went down on bidens watch.
