Mysterious Low Flying Aircraft In NH - What's going on???
Driving from Manchester to Portsmouth tonight. Noticed the following odd aircraft behavior:

Coming up I-93 towards the 293 split, noticed a low flying aircraft just to the west. Got past the split up on the rise by Candia Rd and noticed it in a dead hover over south/central Manchester (Valley St area)? Watched it long enough to confirm it was not moving and was fairly low.

Just past Exit 3 on 101 about ten minutes later, noticed aircraft lights over the highway (about 1k feet up, higher than the last one). Watched it for a few miles...it was definitely not moving. Lost it when I drove under it.

Now I'm really on the lookout, not disappointed. Just got on I-95 north and a very low helicopter/drone (too slow for fixed wing, too low for a pleasure plane that's not in BIG trouble) comes in from the west and follows the highway for a while. It was low enough to see the spacing between the main lights and tail lights very clearly. It crossed 95 to the east and I lost it in the trees. A minute or two later in the Greenland area, it crossed from east to west over 95 lower than it was before (not more than 200 feet up). Lost it in the trees.

ANYONE IN NH know what's going on tonight??

Saw another low flying helipcopter (less than 400') paralleling I-95 North around 10pm tonight. Appeared to fly into Pease AFB.

I drive this route almost daily at all hours. This new helo traffic is unusual. Anyone else in NH got a scoop?

I've got an Osprey (VTOL) flying low overhead in VA tonight ... but it's not unusual here ... been seeing them a lot for the past few months ... Quantico MCB is nearby. They like to fly them low though ...

On a side note, we had an unannounced (they didn't tell the State police) agency coordination exercise here today ... Emergency HOV lane preparedness or something? [link to www.wusa9.com]

There has been a significant increase of low flying military helicopters in Chicago. Over the last few days.

Compared to the previous "none".

Not Sure what Thats all about.

There should be an ongoing thread dedicated to this, and people can post daily about what they see. Maybe if it was all in one place we could put some pieces together.

I live less than a mile from Hill AFB and all day yesterday and today they have been launching C130s and 747 looking passenger planes that are not marked, but are white and orange.

I understand this is a air force base and it is common. but i have lived here for 7 years, it has never been this intense. They launched 6 C130s in the last hour, and it has been like this all day... Never seen it before..

Thanks guys, good intel. Unusual low flying traffic in one place is not significant. Increase everywhere may mean something.

I'll keep an eye on the sky here in the 603.

See those whenever I go outside at night, tonight included, some of them are boomerang and round shaped judging by how the lights move but yet they sound like planes. And even out of the corner of my eye even saw what looked like a bird vanish mid flight before it got to a tree

I've heard rumors of a possible FEMA camp near Lake Francis. You see anything unusual up there?

Seacoast, near Pease. I've always assumed that unusual goings on in NH would involve unusual air traffic around Pease. Hence my interest in this extremely unusual chopper behavior lately. Haven't seen this in my 10 years in the area.
