Chopper
Well, that was fun.
A helicopter has been flying very very low overhead for the last hour or so. How low? Low enough for me to be concerned that he might hit the top of my 13 story building. Low enough for me to call the cops after the fourth pass.
According to the Arlington Police Department, the chopper belongs to the Department of Energy and is part of the National Nuclear Security Administration. Apparently, at the behest of the Pentagon, they are doing a radiological survey of the Pentagon and surrounding Arlington County.
According to the police officer I spoke to, they will be flying between 150 and 300 feet, and will be doing so until around four o'clock. It seems they have gotten a number of calls about this, as she had a paper to read from.
Wish they would have put the info up on the website.
