GoKawiilNRC records show 67 unexplained drone sightings at 28 US nuclear sites since 2024
Newly released Nuclear Regulatory Commission documents detail 67 reports of drones flying over or near 28 nuclear facilities in 17 states between February 2024 and March 2026. The incidents, obtained via a freedom-of-information request from The Liberation Times, are all marked 'Closed Unresolved,' with no operator identified in any case and roughly half occurring during an eight-week stretch in late 2024 and early 2025.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The unresolved status of every report suggests authorities have been unable to trace or stop the drone activity despite its frequency at sensitive sites, which could raise questions about monitoring and response capabilities even though the NRC has previously concluded commercial drones pose no significant sabotage risk. The pattern of nighttime, multi-drone incidents near reactor buildings may fuel public concern about security gaps at critical infrastructure, though no evidence of intent or threat has been confirmed.
- 67 drone sightings were logged at 28 nuclear sites across 17 states from Feb 2024 to March 2026.
- Every incident is listed as 'Closed Unresolved,' with no drone operators ever identified.
- The NRC maintains a 2019 analysis found no significant sabotage risk from commercial drones at nuclear plants.
