Tim Burchett also asked about UAP earlier.
Interestingly enough, Lawrence Livermore National Labs was a focus in Luna’s questioning. A post in this community had previously asked about potential sightings around fusion sites, so I suggested LLNL as a potential focus. I hadn’t come across anything specific, so I’ll have to check into the event to see if there is public documentation on it. Curious to know more about it.
My response in the previous post about fission:
I never really considered it, mostly due to our current limitations around fusion. If anywhere would have a sighting due to that, it’d likely be National Ignition Facility in Livermore, CA. That facility, a part of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is the first to have break even on energy creating fusion.
I searched and couldn’t find any sightings directly attributed to the area around the labs. LLNL comes up a little in search regarding UAP research, but I haven’t jumped in that rabbit hole. However, they are near the California coast which does get a lot of sightings reported.
Extending the scope a bit, the sun gets a fair share of sightings. That could just be due to the fact that it’s constantly observed. The scale of object size compared to the sun and differentiating from objects drifting through space makes those sightings tricky to determine.
On April 1, 2021, a Lawrence Livermore security supervisor reported an employee’s early morning sighting of “a possible drone hovering 50-75 feet off the ground in the buffer zone. Due to the darkness I only saw the red and white lights.” The supervisor consulted with a construction crew and drone operator in the area. Neither had been flying a drone at the time.
One report categorized as “Incident: Suspicious Occurrence” was recorded by a supervisor on April 30, 2019. It involved security escorts near Lawrence Livermore’s building 815. Having spoken with the escorts, the supervisor reported, “They both said, ‘I saw a round silver drone flying around the Process Area and periodically stopping and hovering for several seconds. Once it continued it flew to the north of my location and stopped and hovered for several more seconds. It flew over that area for several minutes and departed south east. It was really high up and it looked like it was just under the clouds.'” The supervisor adds, “The drone like object was flying at a distance and height that made identification of the object impossible for the employees.” The supervisor then contacted another employee “who said there was no scheduled flights for Site 300 today.” The supervisor then ordered a security sweep that found no one who might have been operating a drone.
Note the description in the second quote of it being a “round silver drone”
Edit: Additional reporting from The Debrief and the incident report for the 2019 encounter.
One more thing… It doesn’t look like LLNL itself is a no-drone zone. I’m not sure the accuracy of this map, but it lists Sandia National Labs (located adjacent to LLNL) as a no drone zone. LLNL does seem to experiment with drones, but the reports in the prior article clearly weren’t objects they were aware of.
