Low-Flying Helicopters Have Boston Buzzing

BOSTON (CBS) – What's with all the low-flying helicopters over the Boston area lately?

Many have taken to social media to ask that question this week.

Authorities say there's no reason to be alarmed. According to Boston police, it's part of a planned Department of Defense exercise that will be going on through Friday.

The drills are "not in response to any current world events," police said.

Anyone who wants to confirm that a helicopter they see is part of the training can check with Boston police at 617-343-4250.
