We have, too. The phones in the WJBF News Channel 6 newsroom have been ringing off the hook.
Well, we have found out that U.S. military fighter jets are conducting training exercises involving Fort Gordon, so there is no reason to worry.
We are working to confirm where the jets came from and where they may be headed.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.
UPDATE at 11:54 P.M. August 20th
The Fort Gordon Public Affairs Office has released a statement concerning the military jets that have been seen and heard in the skies over the CSRA Wednesday.
Read the text of the statement below:
Fort Gordon's training area is hosting routine, scheduled Air Force cargo drop training from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today, and again tonight from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The aircraft involved are Air Force Reserve C-130 cargo planes from Marietta, Ga. The planes are flying at low altitudes as a necessary part of the training.
Comment: Notice that though this alleged drop training was a scheduled event it wasn't announced until after reports of strange sounds were coming in to the local news. Also, there were military planes in the sky at the time, but according to local residents they looked like F-16's and no one has seen the C-130's that were alleged to have made the sounds. So what could be generating these strange sounds that the military and media is blaming on non-existent planes:
