My pleasure. It was actually a surprising relief to write that all out. BTW...update: they fly most frequently between 6:00-10:00 pm. I haven't been outside scouting for them per se, but just happened to be outside around 6:30 with the family bringing in firewood and whatnot. There they were, some somewhat lower, a few others, up high, in more of a hover. We even had a low-flying helicopter fly right over the house. I had a string of lit-up Christmas lights in my arms because I was re-adjusting the wonky way my spouse had put them on the tree. I must have looked a spectacle. But I waved and the heli blinked its light at me. Or least I think it was for me. Granted, being in the northwestern relatively rural part of the state, on the forest's edge, we get a lot of air traffic. And we've actually had the Forest Fire helis fly low when we're burning brush in the firepit. We wave and they blink. But this evening this was different. While not in a hurry...that heli was definitely trailing the drones. And IDK whether it was the Forest Helicopter, State Police, or Military. Didn't really catch the color though I don't think it was black. Grey, maybe. Anyhoo, my part of the state has been getting lots of sightings tonight. Spouse just came in, said they spotted ten of 'em on the way to the store and back.
