Strange

Ok I did a search and found some references to this and I am by no means trying to start some kind of conspiracy crap but this was kinda wierd and I just thought i would share this with you guys. So the other day I went outside work for a cigarette break and no not a joint break. Anyway I'm standing outside the store looking across the parking lot at the traffic go by when I hear the sound of a helicoptor, no big deal I have seen and heard them several times. Hell Fort Campbell is just over an hour from where I live. I turn around and look and sure enough it's twin rotor Chinook, again seen them a bunch times before so I wasn't to surprised at first. Here comes the wierd part this thing was flying low like tree top level and almost directly over my head so it was easy to a good look at it. As it approached I noticed this thing was not decked out in the usual military green or tan. It was black I mean solid black. It had absolutely no markings on it what so ever, not even a tail number nor did it have any flashing aviation lights. Now I have heard of the "so called" mysterious black helicopters before and just chalked it up to myth and urban legend but now that I have actually seen one I'm not so sure. It could have been looking for pot plants or little green men. Hell it could've belonged to Donald Trump for all I know. I'm no aviation expert but I thought that anything that flew in the sky except for kites ultralights and RC planes and helicopters had to have a registered tail number and aviation lights but this one had neither. I wish I had thought to get a vid of it with my cell phone but I was too mesmerised by what I was seeing to even think about it. I know some will make jokes and say I'm full of it and that's fine I would probably do the same if it were someone else but I know what I saw and so did other people in the parking lot. Hell there probably ain't much to it at all but just the same I had never seen a Chinook that looked like this one did.

The Army actually has a lot that are plain black. Kinda normal. Flying that low in a populated area, no not really. Depending one how bright out it is you might not notice the formation lights on. Unless a lot of people fast roped out and took people and flew away I would calk it up as huh, that was strange. But then again I am around the stuff every day too.

Yeah I just thought it was kind of wierd and I didn't know that the army had plain black Chinooks because I had never seen one before. Do they just put he tail nomber on one side and it just so happened that side I was looking at didn't have it? And could it be they were just doing some nap of the earth practie manuvers? Marion is a pretty small town and not densely populated. We also had a B-1 bomber crash in a cornfield just outside of town back in 97-98. That really caused some excitement in a sleepy little town like this.

Wow thats tight, Alien13 finally got out of that spaceship and into a heli, nice!

Haha that is crazy though, I would be mind boggled if that occured just because the sound the blades make are as stunning as being next to a funny car when it launches on a green(have done this)

It was a little mind boggling I could feel the rotor wash a little bit. Thats how low this thing was flying. Never stood next to a funny car when it launched but I sure would like too

What ever you do, don't buy a copy of Catcher in The Rye.

I don't plan on it nor do I plan on standing outside Julia Robert's house wathcing her run on a treadmill.

Shhh, there's a reason it's black with no markings!
