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.
Drones over Rammstein!?
Feuer frei!
Bang Bang
So far I have read reports of drones or other “UFOs” over the Capitol, off the Oregon coast, in New Jersey, and now over a U.S. air base. The article about the Oregon UFOs theorized that they were starlink satellite flares. Am I being a conspiracy theorist or is this weird? If it’s our friend Leon, what would be the point? Intimidation?
Yeeeah…there’s been a lot of drone reports from a wide enough area now that I’m starting to get paranoid as well.
Even Magic The Gathering is tweeting about the government drones. Usually I ignore her but… I don’t know, this is all so much.
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.

It kinda sounds like something that leads to a threat when put together like that
You can make anything look like a threat if you frame it correctly.
Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action–but this only applies if they’re related. Thousands of people are flying drones around all kinds of places every day.
My wife is not into metal, but she took her brother to a Rammstein concert in the 90s and said it was absolutely amazing, so I’m not surprised they’ve incorporated drones into the act.
They also had a bit of a scandal around alleged sexual assault, and coersion of sex from fans semi-recently. Big in German media, probably less so internationally. Great shows, but I’m not willing to give them any more money.
Why is there a US base in Germany?
There are more than one. And they’ve been there since shortly after the end of WW2.
Short answer: imperialism.
Long answer: there was this failed painter from Austria once…
There are US bases all over the world. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_military_installations
Britain and the US have army bases in Germany ever since WW2
Russia had some until the 90s as well.
They did an oopsie in the 40s and it’s inertia from there.
That said, IIRC there is a German base in the US too.
Makes it easier to bomb other countries when you have somewhere to do a layover.
why is there a us base anywhere outside of the us? because national security.
have you lived under a rock for the past 65 years or are you twelve?
Sure. Manufacturing terrorists in the middle east is all about national security.
