i thought i saw a ufo but it was a strange helicopter

just a few minutes ago i went to close my curtains and absolutely crapped myself I saw a bright white/purple lit up blob in the sky with a direct pin like light coming from it.... this is never the same as a normal helicopter color lol they are usually orange/white with a white search beam... has anyone seen these purple/white ones before???

I'm not surprised some people report these colors as ufo's because it sure as hell looked like one until in maneuvered. what are they using now thats emitts a bright purple color, it was lit up like extremely large venus color

If it was a beam of light, like a search light, it may have been a high intensity halogen. Most new cars have halogens, and they emit a purplish hue.

And contrary to popular belief, helicopters can be quiet. Has to do with barometric pressure, and whether or not they're in a hurry to get somewhere.

Yup. I've seen/heard some pretty quiet helicopters zipping around. Lights can also look pretty funny from a distance and a very high intensity beam sometimes can appear 'purpley'. The ones around here look like some sort of blue death beam. Had one shine in my backyard and thought WW3 or some sort of alien invasion was underway. I hugged my puppy and grabbed a shotgun.

Well cool, I was born in Stoke on Trent ..

Nice pubs

Mystery and unknown helicopter sightings are nothing new. This is one of the few areas of ufology that does not get much research. Richard Dolan in his book "UFOs and the National Security State Vols 1 and 2" has many such cases reported from military bases in the USA.

Most of the mystery helicopters sighted were silent and did maneuvers that no ordinary helicopter could do.

I hope you find out more about what you saw.

Another reason why helicopters may be using search lights with a blueish hue is because blue light can make blood trails stand out better.

I don't know if this is the case, and someone would have to be bleeding pretty badly for them to be able to pick up a blood trail from elevation.
