Security concerns over drones no longer are contained to the U.S. mainland as many have been spotted several times over U.S. military bases in the United Kingdom and Germany in the past 30 days, according to multiple media reports.

F-35 and F-15 fighter jets, KC-135 tankers and RC-135 surveillance aircraft are at the other bases.
