First hand account from New England here.

One of those CN35's flew over my neighborhood heading north yesterday. I'm not saying it was the same one, but I tend to listen for any out-of-the-ordinary planes because I'm a rookie PlaneFag (still in training).

The C-130's out of Quonset ANG will occasionally do REALLY low level (~1,000 - 1500 feet) terrain following (they shake the whole house) in the Blackstone Valley and practice touch-and-go's at the regional airports. I confirmed this with my retired AF buddy that flew the LC-130's (skibirds) out of Schenectady.

The Blackhawks from Otis AFB and Quonset often follow the highways, circle Boston or Providence and sometimes do tight circles over the ocean.

I've NEVER see an obvious ☢ pattern before.

EDIT : I sent this flight pattern to my normie retired AF Colonel buddy. He's fast asleep and dropped me a couple times from a group chat because I got too political and he prefers to live with his head in the sad (Might be a touch of PTSD after 26 years in the military).

I'll come back and edit this again if he has an explanation.
