I received this Email and thought at first it was a hoax. I called the contact number at the end of the email and they verified this problem with GPS testing that is going on.
My concern is, if this is legit, which for all I can verify it is, is that there may be some unexplained fly-aways in the near future.

What IS the Government testing? Secret California tests to black out GPS for six hours a day
- Advisory warns ‘all aircraft relying on GPS’ over the area may feel effects
- 'GPS interference testing' may disrupt signals as low as 50 ft above ground
- It says that GPS signals may be ‘unreliable or unavailable’ for hours

- The US government is conducting a series of mysterious tests on the West Coast that could disrupt GPS signals for hundreds of miles around.
In a document published this weekend, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a flight advisory for six days this month, when the ‘GPS interference testing’ will occur.
The first event takes place today, and could render GPS signals as low as 50 feet above the ground ‘unreliable or unavailable’ for hours.
