Something's up?

I'm working from home today and just heard military jets flying overhead. Nothing unusual there, but they seemed louder than usual - more like fighters than the typical transports that overfly this area regularly.

I ran outside and saw at least five fighters, flying fast toward the South/Southwest. They were at high enough altitude that it was tough to identify them - maybe 15,000 feet, but I think they were F-16s.

In other news, there are numerous street closures near the US Capitol due to a suspicious package found in the front yard of a house on Capitol Hill.

Stay tuned...

Update: Just noticed that today is the anniversary of D-Day. I'm guessing that those F-16's were on their way to a flyover of a ceremony somewhere.
