Something Really Strange is going on (Military Activity)

Just an observation from where I live. Outskirts of Houston for nearly 8 years, the first 6, not a single military aircraft on my side of town. Last 2 years we have Apaches performing gun runs on highway 290. I know it's a gun run, they line up with the road, fly low and fast and the cannon swings back and forth as they "look" at cars. They finish the run swoop up, turn around and do the other side. Kind of creepy.
We also have large squadrons of Black Hawks with Apache escorts every 3 days that fly over head head west to east towards Louisiana.

We have a air guard base in Houston but we never see traffic out this way, lately I see f-16's zooming around. Interesting to say the least.

I live in southern IN, and i have been noticing an increased military prescence here as well.

I was on my way home from a party friday night and while driving past a church i noticed there was a helo in the parking lot. Upon stopping in the middle of the road i noticed that there were actually 2 on the ground and in the air just above the treeline. both of the ones on the ground were blackhawks and the best i could tell the others were ah-64 (apache/ supercobra) and a single huey hovering there with them.

The strange thing is the only military around me are at Jefferson Proving Grounds and that place has been shut down for quie a few years.

I am about 30-35 miles north of Fort Knox, KY (yes the gold depository)

Anyway when i asked my stepdad about it he says that its possibly some kind of training they do to get used to putting helos down in less than ideal situations. He was in the 101st airborne division in the late 70s so i would take his word for it.

Just sharing my experience

There was a nuclear disaster training drill in Indianapolis that just finished on the 18th of July. Maybe they were finally going back to their base.

When cananda attacks us......

Canadian tanks are horses with mounted long rifles if im not mistaken?

What a war that would be.... for 37 seconds

I am nowhere near indy. i think it was training just because of the location they had JUST enough room to land the choppers where they did so i think maybe its just a prime location seeing as there are no house for miles just trees and cows.

I suppose I could research this, but do you think that our formidable foes have the capabilities such as satellite reconnaissance and facial feature recognition to really do any kind of harm by way of an intercontinental attack against the first lady?
Not sure myself, but if you would provide reasoning for such an elaborate entourage for this event, I would be grateful!! TY..
