Wondering about loud noise

[NotGolfer]

I live off from Odell between Havana and Mallory. About 15 minutes of so ago, a very large/loud noise went, what seemed like directly over our house and very low. It didn't sound quite like a helicopter but if might have been. Does anyone else know what it was? I didn't make it out of my chair or outside to check it out. Man that was scary sounding!!!

[pklein9747]

We live in the Keystone Villas off Havana Trail. It was a helicopter...saw it fly over. Most likely a medical chopper. Many times they use the vacant lot next to Walgreens in Colony to pick up an accident victim or extremely ill person who needs to get a trauma hospital ASAP.

It was actually two choppers that flew by, impressive but loud. Hope whatever their objective was got accomplished.

Be thankful you do not live near the quarry or turnpike.

The quarry or turnpike has no effect compared to the chopper that can some back to Nam. Before they were a whisper to some, i knew exactly what the sound was.Time spent in evac hospital at rocket alley gives you that experience for many years, if not forever.

Yes, we are in Mallory, I heard it too. Thought it was going to land in our yard.

they flew very low over the Village of Pine Hills....too dark to see, but it was loud

Flew over my house in Pine Hills last night at exactly 9pm . Had to have been flying pretty low. Watch out for those power lines !

A DC-3 heading roughly north as seen from Waterlily Ave off Hillsborough Trail. Flying quite low and throaty Pratt and Whitney engines calling attention. Almost missed it.

Not even funny anymore. Has become a cliche……..

I saw that monster flying low the other day...it even looked like he had wheels down...I wondered where the pilot was going to land that thing....it was quite a way from the Leesburg airport

Live near Polo Field. Used to helos landing here. Wasn’t the same noise. The noise sounded a lot bigger, a lot more powerful. I could feel that helo thru the house. It was different than normal and I expected to hear/feel a crash or soldiers landing on my roof! Thought I was in a black ops movie!

[dadcat]

Heard and saw the same in Pine Ridge. I believe they were two V22 Ospreys used mainly by the Marine Corps. Why were they so low and where were they going? Are they’re any real answers?

[F16 1UB]

No retired military acft drivers live in the villages. That eliminates the possibility of a fly by … similar to A-10’s that allegedly flew over same area some time ago. Heard this from a friend.

From Odell near Canal, It was 3 fighter jets in formation. I was out for a late walk when they passed overhead.

Was not being funny visited friend living near the turnpike and was surprised how loud the noise was

Thank you for your service hope you made a full recovery.

Flights coming in for training?

Funny. So far, according to eyewitness accounts, the noise was caused by:
- Helicopters
- Two V22 Ospreys
- DC-3
- Three fighter jets

Didn't see it from my house but it sounded like the drone of a prop-engine plane so I'm betting on the DC-3 (or similar)

Last night at 9pm I watched as three military helicopters flew extremely low and directly over my house in Summerhill. Had to cover my ears the sound was so incredibly loud!

Those Warthogs were loud a few years ago when a squadron of them flew over. An impressive sight, for sure. Very loud and very low. Love to see our military aircraft in operation. Definitely saved our rears in 'Nam more times than can count. Choppers, Puff, Broncos, etc.

Heard from a friend who heard it from his friend it was a flying saucer from nearby Alpha Centuri.

Sorry for the disturbance. I''ll tell Klatu to put it in "silent" mode next time he brings me home from our next party.
Peace! 👽👽

Flying Harley's

[fgsJr]

We live in Amelia just off Odell and I was able to go outside just as they passed directly overhead and the noise was overpowering!! My wife thought it was a tornado at 1st, but it was 3 Huey helicopters flying VERY LOW, about 500-1000 feet up. My neighbor was terrified thinking they were going to crash into their home. I’d love to know what maneuvers they were on…

I was going to write this exact same post. Isn't it interesting how four eyewitnesses reported very different things. This is a textbook example of why eyewitness testimony must be taken with a grain of salt whether in a court of law, accident investigation, or news article. I've read many a news story about a conviction being overturned years later when new evidence surfaced -- looking back at the original trial that convicted the person, a large portion of the cases hung purely on an eyewitness testimony.

[GOLFER54]

I believe it was a UFO, I saw it. It was being driven by a little green man. After I finish my rum and coke, he no longer was there.
