Former official cites video of unidentified aerial objects near Barksdale Air Force Base
Former Second Bomb Wing Superintendent and Inspector General Ronald Bilak claims to have filmed anomalous objects near Barksdale Air Force Base.
December 2024
During the interview, Bilak declared :
…when I’d heard about the New Jersey thing, I was like, OK, if there’s going to be a drone flap, Barksdale’s going to be involved.
And I saw, and working with somebody else, you know, that we both know there were multiple reports of other bases.
And I just decided that, hey, unlike everybody else, I had the camera ready. I had my phone camera ready.
The first thing I caught was a giant object that you saw.
It was probably 75 feet (23m) off the ground, which was very concerning to me. This was a triangular object, probably 15 feet (4.5m), if not more.
Didn’t make a noise, nothing. And again, it flew, it had to have flown since it flew over my house, which is it, you know, maybe a mile from the West gate and from the backside of the base.
It had a flown directly over, which as you know, is an FAA violation.
And a 20 minutes later, I’ve seen objects, Ross, that there’s no way to describe these objects as anything that I’ve ever seen in flight pattern before.
They flashed, they moved left to right, they moved up and down so quick that I couldn’t believe what I was saying. And I saw three of them.
And I’ve never seen anything like that before. They were outside the area of the base. They were across from the West gate and across the river in the Shreveport area.
And again, I watched them for three to four minutes there. I filmed them. You see what I saw. I don’t know what I’ve seen. I’m not going to say, you know, but never seen anything like it.
As shown in the video above, ret. Master Sergeant filmed what he described to Ross Coulthart. Furthermore, he stated that he had identified additional witnesses via social media platforms, who had also recorded the events.
…when they blinked, you could see something was there.
It’s hard to explain, but it’s like you could see after the blink, there was a solid object behind that blink.
And then there were three of them and they moved in ways that you just can’t possibly move. You can’t.
no noise, no noise, no propellers, no chemtrail, no exhaust, no nothing, nothing at all.
Ross Coulthart : But you’re quite clear that the objects that you saw and videoed in December of 2024 would clearly not conventional drones.
Ronald Bilak : They were objects that were operating far outside the conventional limitations of modern technology.
The proof is in the video. I mean, that’s that’s all I can say is the proof in the video. I don’t know what they were, but obviously I’ve never seen anything like it.
So you tell me, you know, that’s that’s the whole thing. The video doesn’t lie.
March 2026
A few weeks ago, there was another wave of unexplained sightings near Barksdale Air Force Base. Bilak witnessed and filmed the sightings, but he insisted that they were different from the previous ones and were probably conventional drones.
According to a press release by the Air Force Global Strike Command, published march 31 2026 :
…beginning Monday, March 9, Barksdale AFB experienced several unauthorized drone incursions that varied in duration and number of drones. Out of an abundance of caution in response to the initial event, Barksdale base leadership issued a Shelter in Place order for the morning of March 9 that was lifted that same morning. Operations from Barksdale AFB continue unabated and the incident remains under an active federal investigation.
Senator Bill Kennedy announced that a drone had been recovered, but it was unclear whether it was related to the recent increase in drones spotted above the base.
While the video appears to show unidentified aerial objects, it does not by itself establish the nature or origin of what was observed. The footage has not been publicly and independently verified, and no evidence has been made public indicating the presence of advanced or unconventional technology. In recent years, reports of unidentified aerial phenomena near sensitive sites have increased in the United States and Europe. In some cases, authorities have responded with countermeasures. On December 4, 2025, five drones approaching a naval base hosting French nuclear submarines were shot down. However, the origin of these objects has not yet been publicly identified.
