i'm on the phone with my dad and 2 helicopters have been hovering over the south side of my house. looks like they were looking near mt. gleason. i did hear sirens earlier. anyone know what'sup

I happened to be across town, literally, up in the hills west of the cross at the time they were there. I also had a small binocular with me. I'm certain one was the channel 11 news helicopter. That one was hovering fairly low for close to 10 minutes. Soon after it arrived another helicopter came from the east, circled above the channel 11 copter briefly, then headed west a bit and hovered at a higher elevation for a while.
I have no idea what they were looking at/for. I heard sirens earlier, but there was no way to tell if they were headed to the area the copters were watching. After the helicopters arrived I heard no sirens or could detect any activity.
