This is unusual. I’m 40, have lived in DC and the close in suburbs my entire life, and have never seen the stuff people are describing here- although perhaps it’s more common in VA, where I spent less time. A couple years after 9/11 I saw 2 cops with rifles and a German Shepherd at the Bethesda metro. It unnerved me and I didn’t see anything like that again until after Jan 6 when downtown was shut down with military checkpoints. |
| Well a gunman killed at least 7 people in Maine last night. Maybe the govt can announce when we are in danger from our fellow Americans. Feels like we’re more likely to be killed by a white American man at the grocery store than by a terrorist but I’m not a stats professional |

This makes me feel less crazy. There definitely have been low flying jets, not my imagination! |

| I heard fighter jets scrambling this morning around 6:30 when I got up. It was annoying. I'm in Glover Park, DC. |

I spotted a fighter jet today. It looked to be solo which seemed strange to me.
|
| I heard them again last night. Very loud, sounds very low like they were buzzing the roof of my building (I live In Rosslyn). I hear planes flying over all the time - this is something different. It’s unsettling! |
