People are not denying that helicopters come in black or orange, or white, or green or other colors, they are trying to figure out how some one becomes obsessed with what color someone paints a helicopter.

“At least some sightings of black helicopters are very likely to have been helicopters on exercises and/or missions. Some of them are flown by units of the Army National Guard and are actually black (not dark olive or chocolate brown) when seen in ordinary light. The Department of Homeland Security operates a dozen black-and-gold UH-60 Blackhawk under the US Customs Service.[10] The American military does in fact operate helicopters painted in black or dark colors, particularly the Pave Low which is optimized for long-range stealthy insertion and extraction of personnel, including combat search and rescue.
U.S. Army and National Guard helicopters painted olive drab will appear to be black in the reddish light of dawn or dusk, or under other low light conditions during the day when their shadow side is viewed against the sky with the naked eye.”

“The U.S. Army regularly conducts both exercises and operational missions in American airspace. Some of these exercises have taken place in densely populated cities, including Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, San Francisco, Oakland and Washington, D.C. Most operational missions are tasked in narcotics interdiction in the American Southwest and out of Florida and Puerto Rico. By extensive use of IR, Radar, GPS and night vision devices, as well as other classified means, they are able to fly in zero visibility conditions with no running lights[citation needed]. At this high intensity level of operation, training is necessarily almost as dangerous to pilots, other air traffic, and the public as actual combat. Frequent practice is necessary to retain proficiency. Frequent practice results in frequent sightings by concerned members of the public.

The US Customs and Border Protection organization uses black UH-60 Sikorsky helicoptersMany defense contractors and helicopter manufacturers also conduct public flight testing of aircraft and components or fly aircraft in public view to test ranges or other corporate airfields for training or demonstrations. Occasionally, some of these aircraft will be made for military clients and are painted in black or dark colors.”

Sorry they fly too low over the position I was standing to make that mistake. They have the green ones flying out of there also. Nice try but your are WRONG!

Now get off the bull crap. This is not a thread about that. You did not see what I saw. I did see exactly what I saw and they were just above a single story building. I also have good color perception.

Here is more points on the subject:

1. Bill HR 645 FEMA camps is a real Bill in Congress

2. Think of the Patriot Act in the hands of George Bush and then in Obama, Hillary, or Bill Clinton's hands. This allows people denied Constitutional Rights if classified a terrorist

3. What was the purpose of Janet Napolitano's white paper to redefine domestic terror?

This is not a big leap.

Are you paying attention now?

The brown shirts are in the streets now. The funding of the SS army with ACORN and Americorps is forming now. It is happening right under our noses. What has to happen for you to see it?
