Black Helicopter TEXAS flyover- WITH PICS!

I have them in higher resolution but pbucket cuts them down.

Maybe you could crop the rest of the photo out, leaving only the helicopter. That way we'll get the heli in hi-res.

It's more than a theory! Grab your TV remote control and point it at your webcam and press the button. You can see the IR LED light up.

IR usually shows up as a nearly white light, though there's probably exceptions, depending on the camera.

Way to be fast on it and run in, then back out to snap a couple photos,
excellent work.

You probably heard a sonic boom, whatever made the sound was already gone by the time you looked up.

As for the mystery object above the heli, I am pretty sure that is a bug or small bird at close range when you took the picture.

I live in Cincinnati and the week before last I heard 3 helicopters (very loud, very big) with the large long rotor blades. By the time I made it to my window, they were moving off to the west in formation with two separated in front and the 3rd one behind in the middle. Then last week I heard the same loud copters but there were only 2 of them as far as I could tell. I did not hear a boom though.

The Wright-Patterson AFB is in Dayton (about an hour drive north from here), so I don't think they were from the Air Force Base. Plus they were flying from east to west.

I've heard or read that there are "detainment facilities" being constructed all over the US and they are not for illegal immigrants, they are for us.

Very interesting, if you did hear a sonic boom from a jet, what was the chopper doing? What I mean is if the chopper was "chasing" something that could hit Mach 1 (sonic boom speed) the chopper would never catch up to it as they are way too slow. Mach speed is variable having to do with atmospheric conditions such as air temperature, humidity and altitude, but a sonic boom is ussually generated at around 700 m.p.h., top speed for an apache helo is only 192 m.p.h.

Just a thought....

Are we able to very roughly work out the second objects speed by comparing the motion-blur of the second object to the motion-blur of the heli's blades?

I mean, if the object is blurrier than the rotor blades, does that mean it's moving faster (than the tips of the rotor blades) or does distance have to be taken into account?

I should have clarified. If there is some sort of invisibility tech involved, it could be only on the spectrum of light that human eyes can visibly see, leaving it open for cameras to capture things in the sky that you wouldn't have noticed.

What I'm personally curious about is the "boom."

A loud boom - followed by something that most people aren't going to see everyday is strange enough. Add that the second object wasn't even seen until the photos where uploaded to the computer just makes it an even stranger situation.

What the heck could the boom have been? Related? Unrelated?

Hurray for making up scenarios in my head... I'll be in my corner.

The mystery object is an illusion, it looks like it is flying with or above the heli but it really is not. Its a small bug flying just above the the roof of his house.

I agree with the F117 post. Looking at the enhanced photo, you can make out the "V" in the tail. The jet appears to be banking right.

F117 don't fly anymore, they were retired 2 years ago.

The Air Force retired the F-117 on 22 April 2008,[2] primarily due to the fielding of the F-22 Raptor[5] and the impending fielding of the F-35 Lightning II.[6]

The OP said about the mystery object.

I ddn't. As a matter of fact, not until I downloaded the pics to the laptop that I even saw that. I was more scared of the boom and the plane. I was thinking there was shooting going on.

He didn't see it at all, if it were a plane he would of seen it and heard it when taking the picture. This is the perfect example of the classic UFO photos that show up on here every day, the person was taking a picture of something else, then later while looking at the photo notices a blur object in the photo that they didn't see when taking the picture. It is always proven to be a bug or bird. In this case it is a bug.

The boom was not a sonic boom. Sonic booms shatter windows and ear drums. Planes are not allowed to break the sound barrier in US airspace. There are only two designated areas over US soil they can do that. Or after 100 miles offshore. Umless the space shuttle was entering the atmosphere over OPs head, it was not a sonic boom. Also helicopters do not break the sound barrier.

F117's are not supersonic.
Maybe it was Airwolf

Where abouts in Texas do you live OP?
As we all know Texas has several large bases, and maybe they are taking things out for a spin?

I live in Central Texas and have heard more planes overhead than normal lately and more helis out and about. But I am also not sure if the gang from Ft Hood are doing practice drills or have been on a group/joint military exorcises lately and things coming back home.

The first pic looks like what would happen when President Bush would fly into town. Always jets out and about and they would travel in helicopters to the ranch. Now I wonder if you might live near the coast.. if so, perhaps a Presidential escort near the gulf?

Local big goings on have pretty much focused on what is going to happen with the Big 12, but I don't think that would require a jet escort just kidding! But I am curious about where you live?

Wow this thread really exploded since last night (no pun intended). I spoke with my neighbor who also witnessed and heard it and he had some more news for me. To answer some questions, I live in south Austin, way south close to Buda, and have NEVER seen or heard any helicopters like that.

As for the boom... I was thinking more along the lines of "Whoa maybe this helicopter just shot a round off" and ran in to get the camera. The boom itself was heard by my girlfriend as well,, from inside the house. She said it sounded like an explosion, but felt like "when a car drives by your car and has heavy bass". From outside, heard the boom first and then noticed the windows of my car vibrate, THEN saw the helicopter.

I have no clue what the thing was in the second pic, HOWEVER, my neighbor told me this morning as he was packing his kids in the car that right BEFORE the boom, as he was watering, he did see what looked like a smoke ring in the sky. No idea if that has anything to do with what we all saw, but it might. He said he thinks there was an air-show, because that's the only other time he's seen that type of helicopter just out over civilian areas.

I hope this all helps and I am here to answer any more questions. If anyone wants the actual HIGH RES pics, I can email them to you and you can analyze them more. Thanks!

There's abig rally on june 26 idont know if any of you have heard such a thing
Not sure if it's agood thing to post this,
so many shape-shifters...

What type of rally? I haven't heard of anything like that.
I know the Republic of Texas rally was this past weekend, but that's all I've heard of.

I saw the same thing here in Spring Hill FL yesterday evening around 6 pm est. It was a huge military heli, flying extremly low over our heads. I was with my wife, and even she said, "why is it flying so low?" I said "get used to it". I just have that feeling.

They fly around here (my house) a lot. Been told by law enforcement they're "ghetto birds" looking for meth labs (I don't have one) with infrared (or something) technology.

The last time one circled 4-6 houses (mine included) for about 10 minutes and flew away we got an immediate hailstorm with quarter-sized hail out of nowhere just over basically those 4-6 houses as it flew away.

Time before that I waved to them and they waved back. Time before that I parked at the end of the runway at the reserve air base (used to be an AFB) to take pics of chemtrail planes and got literally got buzzed by one (I got a pic but it's blurred because I was pretty much trying to get out of there at that point).

Also, it seems like whenever I stop to chat with my paraplegic neighbor three doors down about his alien abduction experiences or that particular day's lovely cloud creation, they show up the next day for a little flyover.

None of this was tongue in cheek. I believe I'm relatively sane, Whatever. They're around. Who knows what for though or who really flies them. Maybe they rent them out for multiple purposes.

Or not.

They ARE here, no idea why though. It makes me wonder if there's a meth lab in my neighborhood now!

There is a HEAVILY wooded area right in back of my subdivision, but the chopper didn't look like it was moving slow. It had about the speed of a normal chopper as it flies, so maybe someone else's neighborhood has a lab in it.

Still doesn't explain the boom heard by myself and 2 other people, probably alot more if I went house to house and asked. If it were a sonic boom, it'd have to be a plane that was relatively low to the ground, since that's what it "felt" like.

hhmmm wonder if they are looking for pot groves? Several up on North Texas have been found growing in wooded areas.

The ring in the sky.. maybe the gang down in San Antonio out and about with the jets??

San Antonio has several huge bases, and Ft Hood.. I wonder if the are amping up for something. I wonder if they are getting read for another round of deployments?
