    Default Anyone else have this happen?

    On saturday afternoon a blacked out Blackhawk chopper flew about 75 feet off the ground and circled my house for about 5 minutes. the thing was so close it was surreal. My neighbors and I all came out to look, it was so low and circling so tight over my house my neighbors were asking "what did you do?" only somewhat jokingly. Now please spare me the tin foil hat comments and other such nonsense, I am genuinely curious whether anyone else has experienced this kind of thing as it was a bit unsettling.

    Blackhawks don't have an AN/AVR-2 system on them, only Kiowa Warriors and Apaches do. All Army helos have an APR-39 system though.

    I used to live by Buckley as well, off of Jewel, saw my favorite all time aircraft an A10 a few times. But this is in Castle Rock, don't get alot of military aircraft around here and damn sure not 75ft off the ground. Again not saying they were "looking" for me or anything as I am just not that important ,just strange and wondering if it had happened to anyone else.

    LOL other than posting here and on FB anti-liberal and pro-patriot stuff? not a thing. I mean honestly It could be nothing but an exercise of some sort but it's unsettling to be sure.
