NPAS airborne video — RAF Lakenheath drones

National Police Air Service · 2024–2025

Police aviation footage — audio withheld

Request

National Police Air Service video of the Lakenheath incidents, pursued through IR/ICO pressure.

Outcome

Video released after IR/ICO-style pressure (Hume's UK FOI template). Audio was stripped under a law-enforcement exemption, so the tape does not show what the crew thought they were seeing in real time. Hume asked analysts to run SHIPWREK (altitude, distance, speed) and whether both 'drones' were F-15s. NPAS had first Glomar'd involvement.

The rare UK visual Hume actually got out — minus the audio.

RAF Lakenheath NPAS vid (that they finally released through pressure imo, a good template for future foia, IR to ICO)

Unfortunately the audio has been removed from released NPAS RAF Lakenheath video under a Law Enforcement Section.

The NPAS (air police) will not comment at all on whether they were involved … They did reply to FOIA with extension, basically "glomar" atm
