Sky full of gliders

[SeeFive]

If you are anywhere near J7 of the M3, look up. There must be about 50 gliders taking thermals - quite an impressive sight. How they manage to avoid contact is amazing given the proximity of each to another and different headings in the stack.

Maybe it's an airborne invasion force

If they are DFS 230s or Me322 Gigants - be very worried.
