today in Elkhart something similar happened to me. But, three helicopters were slowly flying around. I wish they would tell us why.

I also saw those helicopters today, but they were much larger then the one in this picture and looked to be military.

I saw the three black helicopters also, and yes they were larger than the one pictured and headed toward Elkhart. They flew quite low, and when I saw them, they were in the Main St/Catalpa St area.

I also saw 1 black helicopter yesterday afternoon around 4;00. It too was flying quite low just outside of the Knox area.

I've seen the military versions, (typically Blachawks), within a week or so of a Presidential visit. These usually appear to be on a flight path that corresponds to the logical Air Force One flight path. There's an airpath radio beacon outside Knox.

Looks like a Bell 206. Probably the commercial version but a common military "trainer". Left side door missing. That's suspicious. No noticable numbers although engine pod not visible is a common location. Even law enforcement required to have nos.

Normally "black helicopter conspiracy theory" is supposed to be an exaggeration.... Some people are worried about this?

Myself and the crew that I work with watched as those three black choppers flew by our Douglas Rd. work-site last week (Wednesday I think). Headed East.

Ahhh yes... the black helicopters that do not exist. So says our public SERVANTS at the defense and state departments. If I see one and are able, I WILL shoot it down.

3 flew over by back yard about 2 weeks ago! All of them were black w/ a 2 inch stripe their whole length. They were under the radar scope of detection, lets assume that what were seeing, are private aircraft.

I saw a black unmarked helicopter as well but it was only one and saw it twio days in a row. It flew so low you can alsmost touch it and it traveled arround my neighborhood several times. But yeah, it was bigger than the one in ths picture.

Just saw one fly over our area like 6 times. It was very low and then just took off, East I think. More annoying than anything.
