1. They landed close by?
Do you live near a base?

2. Probably special ops troops from Fort Campbell on a training exercise...
point insertion/infiltration in mountainous terrain, that sort of thing...I don't think it's anything to get paranoid about.

6. just saying they exist.. usually there is some number.. so the sargent can
tell the maintence crew where to go...go down 6 rows and it is the 3rd black one on the left..you cant miss it...its black like all the rest..

and if they are training wouldnt they 'not' want to draw attention to the Myth of the Black Helicopters wth no id numbers..??

i just hope they are taking out a big meth lab or something

5. The DEA uses them up here in northern CA.
You know, to protect us all from the scourge of domestically grown marijuana. Your tax dollars at work!

7. We learned about it in remote sensing
Deciduous plants look totally different under infrared, so don't grow your plants under a redwood canopy 'cause that's how they bust people.

8. Wow... That's Unbelievable!!
I have to say... you certainly have an exciting life! A lot of weird things happen either to you... or to people you know... or in your general vicinity.

Do you ever wonder why that is? Some people have all the luck and get to see all these exciting things... and other people just have dull ordinary lives where nothing like that ever happens.
