Mike Morgan on the Lakenheath incursions | Reality Check In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with Mike Morgan, a former senior investigating officer with 30 years in British policing and the author of "The Silence is Deafening," and Liberty, a plane spotter who lives near Royal Air Force Lakenheath. The conversation centers on the objects reported over Lakenheath, Mildenhall, Feltwell and Fairford in November 2024, which officials called drones without naming an operator or releasing a single photograph. Morgan explains what his Freedom of Information requests turned up, from a police helicopter's near-miss report to an investigation staffed by part-time officers who, by his account, made no inquiries of local drone operators. Coulthart presses both men on the case for Russian or Chinese involvement and on why bases associated with nuclear weapons might draw that kind of attention. Liberty describes the silent craft that crossed his field the day before the incursions began and the radio call he says he heard from one of the pilots sent up to chase them.
