U.S. Marine Corps officials observed six drones in the restricted airspace over Camp Pendleton in California, about 40 miles north of San Diego, from Dec. 9 to Dec. 15, the base’s spokesman confirmed.

The unmanned aerial systems, or drones, posed “no threat to installation operations and no impact to air and ground operations,” Capt. James Sartain told The Epoch Times in an email on Dec. 18.
