Contact report for Planefags

Approx. 2200 hrs, I observed a 4-ship loose diamond formation of suspected C-17's doing at least 2 5-mile radius orbits at approx. 3,000 ft. They're still orbiting as I write.

Position about 10 miles due east of RDU at the northern vector of the orbit.

Actually now appears they've headed south. Assuming a battalion-sized night jump at Bragg.

Assuming C-17 based on triangular lights and very quiet engines. They were close enough to be louder for civilian traffic which passes nearby frquently.

Boatfag out.
