Residents of San Antonio and its surrounding area are expressing concern after seeing several aircraft zoom over their neighborhoods. Social media was flooded with clips, photos, and claims of their whereabouts on Monday, March 2.

City Congressman Joaquin Castro reshared a post on X, formerly Twitter, which showed a fleet of helicopters traveling over a wooded community.

“Neighbor got a video,” the user captioned their post. “I know San Antonio is Military City U.S.A. but I’ve lived in this house since 2009 & I’ve never experienced something like this … I don’t like this.”

MySA reached out to Castro’s office for a comment, but did not immediately hear back.

The clip received over 1.2 million views and over 200 comments, with many sharing thoughts on what type of helicopters they might be. Some say they look similar to CH-47 Chinooks or Night Stalkers, also known as 160th SOAR (Abn).

“We also experienced, and it was so alarming,” one user wrote.

The original poster responded to them, saying their “entire house” was “violently shaking for at least 30 seconds.” Additional sightings were reported on Facebook, Reddit, and TikTok. Texans allege they were spotted in the West Austin/Lakeway area, the Hill Country, and Lampasas County.

Many claims repeat the same observation: that they did not have their lights on, loud, and moving in groups.

“Maybe for a movie? – Sure flying in nice formation,” Wild Wilson wrote in a post.

“Yes-very low and no lights. Never seen them that low – like under a radar. It was concerning,” Margie Thatcher McVicker wrote.

Others argue they were likely “moving machines” or people, and that it was not abnormal, given how many military installations there are in the Alamo City.

Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) includes Camp Bullis, Fort Sam Houston, Lackland Air Force Base, and Randolph Air Force Base. MySA reached out to JBSA for comment.
