| Remarks | I saw it come down over the tops of the trees, and fall right to left at a downward angle. It passed between Me and the adjacent apartment complex and evaporated just before it hit the driveway. There was No Evidence that would say it was a firecracker, no pops or visual displays. The Helicopter was flying North and it was soooo low that I could see details that are usually too far away to see. This chopper was completely Dark with one red light on the bottom. It was frightening. Then the next morning the family of crows that live in the tops of those trees were Screaming for Two Hours. Which they have never done before. |
