Locals flood Sheriff’s Department with complaints after “prepare for action” warning sent to cellphones
Kentucky residents flooded the Laurel Co. Sheriff Department’s Facebook page with complaints about low flying military helicopters which coincided with a government “emergency alert” sent to thousands of people’s cellphones yesterday.
As we reported, the FCC emergency alert which warned residents in the Corbin and London areas of Southern Kentucky to “prepare for action,” was sent as a result of “human error,” according to Frankfort Emergency Operations spokesman Buddy Rogers.
However, over a hundred respondents flooded the comments of a Sheriff Department’s Facebook post, many of whom reported seeing military helicopters performing low-flying maneuvers immediately after the alert was sent out.
Residents also contacted Infowars, with one writing, “I’m a London Kentucky resident who received this horrible message today along with all of my friends and family. The most un-nerving part of it all was all of the Black Hawk Helicopters in our skies at the same time… This was NO ACCIDENT!!!”
The reader went on to state that locals watched the helicopters “take off from our tiny airport out of nowhere”.
Another reader sent us a picture of four military helicopters which he snapped near his home during the alert.
Comments made by residents on the Facebook page attested to how frightened people were by both the alarming nature of the alert message and the sound of low flying military choppers rattling their roofs.
“What was the deal with the low flying Chinook that rattled my roof shortly before the test msg,” asked Casey Woods.
“6 black helicopters above our house this morning shook the whole house!! Then this..scary!” stated Leila Hughes.
“Black hawks everywhere…something isn’t right.. or is it just a parade?” questioned Kyndra Mink.
“If it was just a test then how come 6 army helicopters was flying in formation over Clay Co just moments after the text was sent out?” asked Angie Gibson.
The fact that the helicopters left London airport immediately after the alert message was sent out led some to fear that a terrorist attack or other major event had taken place, while others expressed the view that the whole sequence of events was a test run for martial law.
“I don’t care what they say, that wasn’t a test, it was a warning….there’s a few other comments from people that know what I’m talking about,” stated Vince Bowling.
“Maybe they just want us to think it’s a test,” said Angel Norton.
Another theory making the rounds was that the initial text message was sent out to the wrong group and that it was initially only meant for government employees and emergency responders.
As we previously highlighted, similar emergency alert messages have also prompted confusion and panic, including in New Jersey after Verizon customers received text messages warning them that a “civil emergency” was in progress and to “take shelter,” prompting alarmed citizens to flood 911 lines with anxious calls.
Back in October, television viewers in numerous states were interrupted by an alert directly from the White House which warned them to stand by for an emergency message and not to use their phones.

Reblogged this on Agenda 21: Your Freedom Under Attack and commented:
This was not just emails sent out mistakenly. There were gun ships flying over peoples homes. The reports call them helicopters but is clear from at least one picture these were battle ready gun ships. What are we to think about these actions? It is becoming more certain what the government, headed by a man who can’t tell the truth, is preparing to attack its own people. First and foremost, the purchase of billions of hollow point bullets for the department of Homeland Security. You can’t use those in international conflict. It is against international law. That is not target ammo. It can only be used to kill Americans. That is its only purpose. And what about the 3700 armored urban assault vehicles for the same agency distributed around the country? These come complete with tear gas and fully automatic weapons to put down civil disturbances. They saw use in Fergesson, Mo. for the tear gas assaults. If this was a test, don’t you think there should have been an announcement? Read this piece and you will see what our leaders think of us. Agenda 21, here we come….
