1. Are you joking?

If not, where are you, and is there a military base close by. Maybe there is some kind of army exercise going on.

[Walk away]

13. Seriously. I'm right outside of NYC and they were headed that way...

I was out with the dogs cleaning the yard and it started like a freight train in the sky. They were unmarked but not hiding.

Maybe Chris Christie is going to lunch in New York!

[quinnox]

16. well, if you are serious, that is pretty cool

Black helicopters that are unmarked actually do exist, it is not a myth. Most people think its a myth, but it isn't. You can google it to see photos of them, they are used for various things, from the military, to surveillance, to law enforcement.

[Walk away]

28. According to my friend in Secaucus, they flew over Giants Stadium...

and flew back my way but a bit north so I missed their return. It must be some kind of Super Bowl security thing.

[okaawhatever]

30. They usually do security drills and exercises right before Super Bowl or big events where they have

all the major law enforcement agencies. There was an episode of Border Patrol where they showed the practice exercise in Miami prior to the Super Bowl. Oddly, the guy who plays the bad guy pilot of the suspicious airplane has done it for several years. During the Super Bowl they had a real incident, there was a small airplane flying into the no-fly zone who wouldn't respond to radio. It ended up being some guy who wasn't aware his flight path crossed into the no-fly zone, It made for some pretty cool tv.

23. Perhaps a Super Bowl exercise

[okaawhatever]

2. And you didn't take a picture? Glenn Beck would have paid big bucks for proof of Obama's secret

army of black helicopters.

[Iggo]

3. I bet they were probably going somewhere.

[tazkcmo]

5. Or even

RETURNING from going somewhere.

[Iggo]

7. What the...!

You could be right!

[tazkcmo]

11. Shiver

O man. I hope not.

[Ikonoklast]

34. What if they were...doing both?

I get chills just thinking it!

[HappyMe]

4. The jig is up!

They found you!

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. not pizza or amazon delivery drones?

[quinnox]

8. lol!

[Rex]

9. I know this will sound funny, but I've seen this type of post over the years.

The number of black helicopters is always different, but the rest is almost exactly the same narrative.

[quinnox]

12. You are probably right

My first instinct was this OP is maybe trolling a bit.

[Dawgs]

25. How would that be trolling? I've never seen that.

[quinnox]

33. there is a connection between black helicopter stories and ufo stuff, and conspiracy theories

so if someone says they see black helicopters, it often is a joke that is referring to these things.

[Walk away]

24. Honest! I don't even believe in crazy stories.

My neighbor saw
them too!

[Rex]

31. Now you are one of the people that have a 'black helicopter'

story to tell!

[Walk away]

36. If you think this sounds paranoid....

I just dropped one of my dogs off at the groomer and I had to drive past the Hilton in Lyndhurst. Not only did I see more helicopters but seven hazmat trucks went speeding past me with lights flashing and sirens screaming. I think I'm going to stay home until the Super Bowl is OVER!

[Rex]

37. I wonder what is going on!?

Maybe some type of harmful leak or spill from an accident and the government was involved in, (car wreck) is all I can think of.

[pintobean]

38. .

[Rex]

39. It was years, before I knew that was Steven King!

Ah the King of Modern Prose with one of his best lines ever, "meteor shit!"

[Walk away]

40. It seems that they are reporting suspicious packages in the hotels...

in the Meadowlands.

There is always state and local security issues in this area but this year the Feds are out in force. There must be some credible threats.

[Rex]

41. Keep us informed, DU is famous for breaking stories long before teh M$M does!

nt.

[Walk away]

42. The story turned out to be corn starch...

but it got a big response from law enforcement!

[bluestate10]

10. Is your neighborhood infested with teabaggers?

The black helicopters may be for the assbaggers. They will run to their basements and put on their foil caps before curling into a fetal position in a corner.

[XRubicon]

14. Were the large green ones shiny or flat finish?

If they were shiny I would guess it's the President. If they are flat I would head for the hills - WOLVERINES!!!!

[PumpkinAle]

15. That gave me a smile.

Two cows are standing on top of a hill. One cow turns to the other cow and says: "Are you worried about mad cow disease?"
The other cow looks puzzled: "Why? I'm a helicopter."

[NuclearDem]

17. Yeah, sorry about that.

We were just hauling some Freepers and gun owners to the FEMA camps.

Just so you don't freak out, we'll be flying out again to pick up GBTV and 700 Club viewers.

[RKP5637]

18. 18, wow, must have been just like a huge freight train overhead. n/t

[bowens43]

19. for the super bowl....

[winstars]

22. There ya go!!! nt

[Ellipsis]

27. Bingo. Good job. n/t

[Beacool]

20. If you're right outside NYC, it's probably due to the Super Bowl.

I work in Jersey City on the waterfront (smack across the river from the WTC). There's a Hyatt down the block literally on the water, as they're on a pier. The Bronco's are staying there. The security is pretty intense. They don't want another Boston marathon type event.

21. I love the sound of Wagner in the morning ...

32. That's pretty cool. I can understand why that could cause someone to do a WTF.

A couple years ago, I drove past the McCormick Place convention center here in Chicago and saw a fleet of helicopters in the parking lot.

My first thought was "some sort of show?"

Duh! The President was in town.

I tried my best to make it back in time to get caught in the traffic jam that was anticipated when they closed Lake Shore Drive on his departure. I wanted to see Marine 1 take off. But I just missed it.

[smokey nj]

35. I saw a bunch flying over as I was driving to Jersey City today.

[jmowreader]

43. They were from 101st Combat Aviation Brigade

I assume there's a reason they couldn't have saved the poor oppressed taxpayer a few thousand dollars for fuel and pulled aircraft from the 82nd Aviation Brigade at Fort Bragg or the 10th Aviation Brigade at Fort Drum.

I know what would REALLY be cool...have some infantry guys rappel out of a Blackhawk with the game ball. Could they legally hover over the stadium long enough to execute the mission?
