Please tell me about black ops helicopters

[shadowstalker]

I want to know if I encountered one a few days ago.
Are they really heavy? do they shake your house?
Do they suddenly stop making sound?
Do they only show up at night?
Do they normally fly low?
Do they use lights at times, to pose as a regular helicopter?

Id like to know some information too

last week something flew over my apartment that was so loud it shook the glass in my windows. sounded like a helicopter but when i ran out on my deck i couldnt find it.

They have admitted to having stealth helicopters. Remember the one that went down in Bin Laden's compound. It was a stealth.

i had an experience with this, i think. it was very strange.

i was in Arizona. Phoenix, to be specific. I found the place and my whole experience there to be oddly mystical.

first, my health started deteriorating rapidly. it was the beginning of what was to become 7 years of hell. to make a long story short, i always felt like i was processing my outer reality from a point 3 ft under water. everything was blurry. foggy. obscure.

anyway, i was looking out the window of my hotel room around noon or so, just trying to hold it together, when the black helicopter descended and settled no more than 50 yards from my postion--right at eye level. now i may have imagined it, and it may have been my failing health, but i found that staring at the 'copter was strangely hypnotic. the thing just sat there, hovering, no more than 3 stories high.

what was it doing there? why was it flying so low? why did it hover in the same spot for 5 mins straight? not sure. i've always wondered about it.

i don't recall hearing noise, though it may have been upwind--i honestly can't recall. but this chopper was black alright, with no discernible markings. no lights. nothing.

Any helicopter, be it a blackhawk or anything else, low enough and being directly under it is going to be incredibly loud and will make things rattle.

Honestly I don't think there would be anything special about a black ops helicopter, besides it containing SOF soldiers. A majority of SOF will use a MH-6 'little bird' rather then your loud and cumber-sum UH-60 'blackhawk'. Little birds are quicker and quieter and make a good vessel for special operations.

'grow op' detection helicopters and other 'clandestine' type copters tend to be bell designs, or bell helicopter designs. this is a long story but the owner/creator of the original Bell corporation was, shall we say, connected. to all the right people, and thus the company flourished and is connected to those aspects. Thus most GOV work helicopters (of nefarious origin) will be of Bell origin and design.

Hueys are fairly quiet (a bell type) but have a very strong 'chop' sound ('chucka chucka chucka) that ends up being a strong *thump thump* when nearly overhead -and low. all copters have this sound to some degree, obviously, but the Huey has a sound of it's own. It is powerful and designed for cargo, and other heavy works, so it has a big blade and sounds fairly unique. Most of the black helicopters seem to be a Huey derivation.

the drug detection types are very common and they are completely black as a matter of course, so that their origins or flight patterns are harder to figure out.

They use single engine planes around here for detection. Only helicopters we see around here are for medical purposes.
