A massive search of the area began shortly after midnight when a National Guardsman reported that he thought he saw parachutes descending in the vicinity of the Thomas P. O'Neill Federal Building on Causeway Street, which is adjacent to the FleetCenter. State Police used a helicopter with searchlights and infrared cameras to search the roof of the O'Neill building and the surrounding area but found nothing and concluded there had been no incident.

"There is nothing on the roof," said Boston police officer Nadine Taylor-Miller at the joint information center. "We had an unconfirmed report, but they didn't find any people or parachutes."
