San Diego residents were shaken by low-flying helicopters buzzing low around buildings downtown and accompanying explosions that were part of secret military drills conducted last week.
San Diego Police confirmed the situation was part of a “pre-planned military exercise” that ran from Jan. 24 to Feb. 4.
Some residents captured the moment helicopters swooped by their high-rises to land on nearby roofs.

Since residents received no prior notice about these urban warfare drills, some were concerned that the worst had happened.
“The house was literally vibrating with it…it was scary! I immediately thought there’s something really serious going on in the neighborhood,” said Point Loma resident Martha Pistacchi.
“The helicopters were seen in other nearby neighborhoods on Tuesday. But this time was different. I honestly thought something was going to land on the roof,” said Pistacchi.
She wasn’t the only one disturbed by the secret military activities.
From ABC 10 News:
“This area behind me is where they came in and landed,” said one father, who told ABC 10News his daughter was frightened by the noise that began around 8 p.m. and continued past midnight.
“I get the training aspect of things. The problem I have is that there was no public notice,” he said.
“They do need to train, but it’s OK to let the public know not specifically what they’re doing but that they’re going to be in the area and you may be hearing these sights and sounds for this period of time,” said resident Steve Ravellette.
The U.S. Army released a statement to ABC 10 in response to the public outcry:
Members of the U.S. Army are conducting coordinated, essential military training in designated locations around San Diego, California, Jan. 24 to Feb. 04, 2023.
The training consists of air and ground mobility operations and close-quarter combat training to enhance soldiers’ skills by operating in a realistic environment.
Safety precautions are in place to protect participants, along with planning considerations to minimize impact to the community.
This training was coordinated with appropriate officials.
The drills come amid escalating tensions between the West and Russia as the U.S. and NATO countries recently pledged to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine.
