NORAD will be conducting air defense exercises tonight and tomorrow night and possibly Thursday night over the greater Washington D.C. area to include Baltimore and Northern Virginia. Exercises will be conducted from 11:30 PM to 5:30 AM each night. Source was local TV News. Would appreciate info on any active CAP, Refueling, Controller frequencies, if heard.

These Falcon Virgo exercises happen at random times in the DC area. They're really not all that much to listen to (partially, I suspect, because they happen late at night). This article summarizes some of the known freqs (a bit old, from 2007, but I don't know of many changes to this list, as it's a very limited exercise)

A quick scan of the 2010 Sticky Thread for Milair in the Maryland forum shows 139.7 (AM) to be primary...
