Gloucestershire Live reporting this
https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.u...-alert-4551362

The report says "The US Air Force B-52 bomber transmitted a ‘squawk code 770" sic. Flightradar (below) says 7700. The report also talks about Minot air force base stating that there had been a 'general in flight emergency'. Flightradar earlier showed the orbits over Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury taking place at 10,000ft.
