“The Commonwealth of Virginia is home to a significant number of national security and critical infrastructure sites upon which our nation depends each and every day. I remain deeply concerned that Virginia has consistently sought information from federal partners, and to date, the information shared with the Commonwealth has been insufficient. The Virginia State Police Homeland Security Division and Virginia Department of Emergency Management continue to closely coordinate through our Fusion Center with the greater law enforcement and first responder community regarding drone activity in the Commonwealth. We will continue to engage with numerous federal partners and release further information as it becomes known and available.”
Governor Glenn Youngkin.
There is still no clear consensus on what the drones are, and there is minimal information available. The Office of the Governor encouraged the public to continue reporting drone sightings to the Virginia Fusion Center at VFC@vfc.vsp.virginia.gov, or contact (877)-4VA-TIPS. They also asked that citizens not interfere with the aircraft in any way.
