Why are fighter jets scrambling into the air over the midwest right now?
Anyone hear anything?
we don't have any bases nearby the closest one is more than 100 miles away
the aircraft are not far away they are circling the area - best i can tell is they are doing 25 mile sweeps - they do not train here

The most probable answer is that they are having drills in your area. I am near an airbase and i have yet to hear my local fighter wing depart so it is not a large scale drill. You can see military aircraft over your homes even if you are far from a military base. More than likely you are underneath a Military Operations Area (MOA) that may just not be used often.

They decided to do practices in my area without warning a few years ago, probably the same thing.
There isn't anything on the news, and i have friends in the military. we aren't being invaded.
