• Late night military psysops in Olympia? What is the military doing that it doesn't want us to know about? ~Taryn
• I witnessed this 'up close'. They were flying the jet right over my place only a few hundred feet over the ground, I wouldn't say it was any more then 500 or 600 feet up. And it WAS a military cargo plane. It was flying circular patterns that went right over Ft. Lewis. In the distance over FL was at least one helicopter, I could hear it and see a search light in the sky. Due to the distance, it was a couple miles away, it could have been two or more but it was hard to say for sure. The cargo plane was flying right to where the helicopters were. I could see it well enough from the street lights to tell it was a four engine cargo plane, and it was the military green color. It wasn't one of the really huge one's I see flying into McChord, but it was substantial, possibly a troop carrier.
• Tuesday night I just laid in bed listening to and being annoyed by all the loud obviously low-flying jets passing overhead ... over and over. Thursday night, after enduring it for a while, around 11pm I went out to my front yard on Central St NE and, facing south, I saw 2 huge jets flying shockingly low, heading north almost directly over Central St. Just south of the intersection near my house (San Fransisco St) the 2 jets banked sharply - in "formation" to the east. I watched them disappear over what I assumed to be the Ft. Lewis area. Eventually, one of them circled back on almost the exact same route.
