Fighter jets fly over Montreal for Alouettes game, inciting Twitter panic

After fighter jets flew low (and loud) over Montreal on the occasion of the Alouettes game this afternoon, Twitter users began to speculate about what the reason could be.

Est-ce qu’il y a un tournage de Top Gun 3 à Montréal? Pourquoi autant de bruits de jet?

“Is Top Gun 3 filming in Montreal? Why so much jet noise?”

Is Montreal under attack or what?
Or those jets just having fun terrorising citizens without notice….. oh, it's just for fun, k cool
