UK Police Chopper Forced Evasive Action by UFO. New Logs Expose Official Cover-Up?

Key Points

1UK National Police Air Service EC135 helicopter performed emergency evasive action due to an unidentified craft over RAF Lakenheath.
2Newly released Suffolk Police logs detail pilots being pursued by two high-speed drones, contradicting an initial UK aviation safety board report blaming an F-15.
3UK military sources and analysts challenge the F-15 explanation, citing advanced maneuvers and lack of corroborating audio.
4US Air Force bases in England reported multiple drone/UAP sightings, leading to aircraft groundings due to airspace incursions.

A National Police Air Service EC135 helicopter was reportedly forced to undertake emergency evasive action after encountering an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) over a US military air base in the UK. This incident, which occurred on November 22, 2024, has drawn renewed scrutiny following the release of UK police logs that contradict the initial official explanation, which attributed the close encounter to a passing F-15 fighter jet. The newly disclosed documents suggest a far more complex and potentially deliberate interaction with advanced, high-speed objects.

Pilots of the EC135 helicopter reported being targeted and pursued by what they believed were two unmanned craft, forcing them into an emergency dive. Suffolk Police incident logs, obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request, detail the pilots' account of the drones matching their speed at approximately 165 knots and pursuing them for several minutes. A UK military source, after reviewing infrared camera footage from the helicopter, further challenged the F-15 explanation, noting the absence of F-15 mentions in pilot audio and observing maneuvers by the unidentified objects that exceed a fighter jet's capabilities, including a distinct corkscrew turn.

The incident is part of a broader pattern of UAP and drone sightings that plagued US Air Force bases in England, including RAF Lakenheath, RAF Feltwell, and RAF Mildenhall, during the same period. Police logs from November 20-22, 2024, record approximately 20 drones flying over these bases nightly, with reports indicating they were not 'hobby drones' due to their size and operational characteristics. Crucially, these incursions led to US bases grounding aircraft due to objects crossing flight paths, underscoring significant airspace safety implications.

British meteorologist Stuart Onyeche, who has researched the incident, also questions the official narrative, suggesting the F-15 known to be in the vicinity might have been pursuing the UAPs rather than being the UAP itself. The investigation was reportedly handed over to the UK Ministry of Defence Police, but their findings have not been publicly released, leaving the true nature of these aerial phenomena and their impact on aviation safety a subject of ongoing debate and concern.
