I have never seen one like this, kind of unusual around here. Anyone know what kind it might be?

3. The would be an EAC suppression copter
The Evil Atheist Conspiracy (EAC) is actually the real power behind all other conspiracies. Illuminati, vast government conspiracies, Area 51, they all answer to the EAC.

You must represent some particular threat to the EAC. Prepare to be cleansed. If you are truly fortunate its just a surveilance fly over.

6. Well that's all fun but this thing was LOW right over my backyard....
I KNOW it is not personal but i happen to live pretty close to a nuclear plant. Odd things can be a bit concerning. I was looking up at the bottom of the thing as it was RIGHT above me and LOW.

9. Probably just a traning exercise
Military forces have to be familiar with areas they may have to defend. I would expect such flights more often in such times.

8. LOL!!! This cracks me up!!!!
Sad to say, this is close to the truth for some folks.

Remember when people who fretted over black helicopters were just "kooks"?

13. Then it was probably a CH-47
The Marines still use it as the Osprey has some "Issues". But could have been any military unit, or a Federal agency I guess.
