So today I had a helicopter flying SUPER low and slow over my house. It was night time and in the dark, but I believe it was military.
Now I live in a sub burb in western New York. All my life living here, 25+ years, this has NEVER happened.
So they are training for urban combat . Has anyone seen this before?
I've seen 3 or 4 chinooks fly over my house this year -- and I don't live anywhere near a military base. First time I've seen them here in the entire 20-some-odd years I've lived here.
"...from the fact they are SO LOUD and have such a pervasive Low frequency sound that you can actually feel...you can feel it before you can hear it...and you can feel/hear chinooks from 20 miles away or more"
This is what alerted me to their presence the couple of times they flew over my house. The sound they make is much deeper than a normal helicopter. It's a sound that "means business."
Happened once to me about a month ago. Felt it way before saw it. Extra low, felt the vibration, rattled some things in the house. I am in the sticks near absolutely nothing of significance. It was only one, though, which I found odd. Thought those helos only travelled in groups.
I never saw more than one at a time.
