| Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, Ga.
The military is investigating after two聽skydivers聽missed an airport and landed on a high-security submarine base along Georgia's coast.
St. Marys Airport officials say they were told Sunday that the US Navy had two聽skydivers聽in custody after they landed on the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base.
Cathy Kloess, who owns a聽skydiving聽business at the nearby St. Marys Airport, tells The Florida Times-Union that the聽skydivers聽landed on a baseball diamond on base.
Kloess said the Navy doesn't want聽skydivers聽landing on the base, but Navy officials were understanding after an "act of God" like the strong winds that blew the聽skydivers聽off-course.
Base security officers released the jumpers after verifying their identities.
Officials say it's at least the third time in three years that聽skydivers聽missed the airport.
