SILVERDALE – Multiple sightings of unauthorized unmanned aerial systems or “drones” have been reported flying over Naval Base Kitsap Bangor over the past few months. The Navy is requesting that local residents report sightings to base officials immediately.
“Unauthorized drone flights pose a potential threat to national security,” said Rear Adm. Jeff Ruth, the commander of Navy Region Northwest, in a Navy press release.
“We’re all part of this community. It is vital that everyone on and around the base to remain observant and vigilant when it comes keeping our nation safe by reporting sightings of these drones.”
The airspace above NBK is designated by the Federal Aviation Administration as a National Security Area. Drone operations are only authorized if they are coordinated and approved by the NBK Commanding Officer.
“Kitsap has a strong history of supporting the military over the past 125 years,” said Capt. Tom Zwolfer, the commanding officer of Naval Base Kitsap.
“The Navy is asking our neighbors to assist by reporting any drones they see flying over any Naval Base Kitsap property.”
If a drone is spotted, it is imperative that base security be notified as soon as possible. Please call the Regional Dispatch Center at 360-396-4444. Provide the operator with the following information:
• Location. This includes the direction the drone is flying, where it is coming from, and current landmark or street intersections.
• Date and time of sighting.
• Detailed description of drone. Provide the approximate size and color of drone, number of propellers, and color of lights.
• If possible, take a photograph or video of drone for the security team.
The Navy is committed to the security of its infrastructure, personnel and equipment, as well as that of neighboring communities. These drones are a potential hazard to operational security, so working together as a community to report sightings is of upmost importance.

PRNK sub launched drones…
Even if I lived near there and saw a fleet of drones flying around, I wouldn’t say a word.
The war pigs of this evil Zionist-occupied government did everything possible to create the drone menace. Now they’re worried about it coming back to bite them in their asses. Did they really think their enemies would never have drones of their own?
Also, how could such an event have anything to do with “national security” when we don’t even have a nation anymore? America died when the Bill of Rights died, and when the government decided that it was the ruler rather than the servant of the People.
They spy on us and they think that is fine but if someone looks at them its not. I don’t see a thing!
