Wow, not fifteen minutes ago (right about 7:20-7:30 pm PT) one and then another (I could see both in the sky at one point) fighter jets did a couple loops right over my head, coming very low at times and making a hellacious noise, one flying off to the NNW roughly and the second, coming not quite as low, but which could be seen diving as he headed SSE roughly.
I am in Petaluma, in southern Sonoma County, about 70 miles north of the San Francisco Bridge and nowhere near any kind of military facilities. We are under a popular flight approach to the San Francisco and Oakland Airports and, until last week, the jet traffic to those two airports, getting lower as the near the bay, was pretty regular, sometimes getting a little noisy, but never anything like this.
I don't know what's up but it was quite startling, bringing the whole neighborhood out into the street.
