Scuffles

I live in a pleasant little village in Engerlands, about 40 miles out of London. There's a few big towns / cities nearby, but all are a good 10+ miles out from here. Now, there happens to be a woods nearby, which sparked my interest while looking at it from google earth (I love my hiking and such), because it's completely sealed off, and has a number of buildings in the middle of it, joined by dirt roads.
Here is where it started getting a bit weird for me; from google earth (it's pretty high def round this area) it's easy to see all the building have dirt walls raised all round them to level with the building tops, with just one lower bit for entry from the roads. There's also only one entry to the woods which I drive past sometimes, which has a few simple buildings, a gate, gatehouse, and a little sign saying "Police dog training".
I'd spent a while trying to figure out why you need this sort of setup for training police dogs, when I was woken at 3am one morning by a mixture of my cat biting me and rapid gun fire coming from the wooded area. Driving past later that day, I had to stop to let out 3 coachloads of soldiers (or at least men in full military garb) from the Dog school. I've since often seen soldiers unloading trucks, and generally mullering about the entrance to the woods.
To finish my little backstory here, I was walking through another nearby forest today, when 3 military helicopters flew over very low (just over tree top level) with troops inside sitting with their legs dangling over the edge (surely thats dangerous?).
Personally, I think they have zombies. But then I often think zombies are somehow involved with pretty much anything. Any ideas intarweb?
