I believe they said the same thing when the 135's were moved from Barksdale to New Jersey.

Is it me, or have there been noticeably more civilians posting about seeing the movement of planes and armored divisions on trains being transported around the south over the last few weeks?

Saw a long arse train a few weeks ago headed up La 1 full of military personel carrier type vehicles an humvees.

I've seen military helicopters fly over a dozen at a time but never that many big planes. The sound was like I've never heard. Obviously it isn't a normal training thing

44 B52's are stationed at Barksdale, over half the fleet. The rest are stationed in North Dakota, I think.

I saw the same convoy.
Lots of people saw it. Largest movement of armored vehicles I've ever seen.

There is definitely something going down.

I live in North La. And I just took the dogs out before bed and saw something that I can't really recall ever seeing:

I saw the lights of what appeared to be 5 or 6 large aircraft flying at high altitude in formation over my house and yes, they were headed dead north. It's nothing to see B-52s around and things like that but I don't recall having seen a large group like that flying together. Couldn't hear them or anything, could only see the lights. Very strange indeed.

Heading north, huh. Must be bombing Arkansas.

Well they won't be using any smart bombs.

Zero targets of opportunity there.
