Loud BOOMS being heard in beech grove area

[jfed85]

Anybody else hearing the? Just woke my wife and I out of a dead sleep. LOUD, deep booms.

Wife called non emergency Police phone number. Before she even got it out of her mouth she was interrupted with "yes ma'am, they're running aI library exercise. Those are drone strikes your hearing."

Weird....why at 12:15 a.m. and why not tell people on areas where it is going gowing on so as not to have hundreds of freaked out residents blowing up your phone lines.

They would have had spectators? Part of the exercise?

Running a drill at the FEMA camp at the Beech Grove yards? <---purple

We were wondering the same thing as the helicopter was circling over the town.. then we saw several silent flying drones with red lights flying low.. so I jumped on good ole INGO and voila I see this thread haha. Definitely had us scratching our heads..

A friend near edgewood/franklin was rustled from bed by a 7 ship flyover of whirlybirds.

The "drones" we saw must have been other helicopters, going really fast

Its an excercise at an old hospital is what i was told. Rtv6 is posting stuff now about it. Seems weird to me muskatatuck utc has just about everything you could want for a military exercise.

Mus is too popular, tough to get on the schedule. We used to go, good facility, but couldn't get time after a few years.

That group of copters flew over headed south (Whiteland) and rattled our windows big time. This about 40 minutes ago.

Not near me, but I'm sure I would have slept right through it. I once slept through this band on the side of the stage... we set up their props and I took a nap while they played.

Nice! I nodded off during the Bristol night race a time or two when we used to go to Nascar races about 10 or 15 years ago. Learned long ago, when sitting still to catch a few Z's whenever possible. Also something something eat fast something something gig line... ugh. I need more coffee.

Just seems like with all the news outlets and social media they could have given people a heads up so as not to have people like me jumping out of bed ready to have a heart attack.

That makes too much sense.

unless they wanted to gauge citizen response as part of the feedback from the drill
