FBI Launches Nationwide Investigation into Unexplained Drone Swarms Over Critical Infrastructure
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Federal Bureau of Investigation has initiated a formal nationwide investigation into a series of unexplained drone swarms observed over critical infrastructure facilities across multiple states. According to agency officials, the large groups of unidentified aerial vehicles were first reported on January 15, 2025, near a power substation in Ohio, with subsequent sightings at a water treatment plant in Texas and a telecommunications hub in Virginia. Authorities confirmed the drones, each measuring approximately three feet in diameter, operated in coordinated patterns for extended periods, evading standard detection systems. The bureau is now coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security and local law enforcement to trace the origin and purpose of these flights, citing potential threats to national security and public safety. As of this report, no suspects or responsible parties have been identified, and the investigation remains active.
