Weird..Weird..Weird..

A heavy Helicopter (probably a Military EH101) was completely stationary over my House for about 15 minutes at an altitude of around 500 to 800 ft.

This was at 2:30 am in the morning. Night time viability was excellent.

It then proceeded to move of about 500-700 metres away, enough time to get the night vision scope on the helicopter and the 7x50 Binoculars, where it would occasionally project a light beam downward for a 30-60 seconds at a time. The beam must have been an IR beam as it was not really visible except a faint beam glow using the 7x50s binoculars.

Even weirder was the Helicopter was obviously searching or tracking something, and I may have seen what it was tracking on the night vision scope. On the night vision scope a spot ball of light moved up towards the helicopter then dived away and then proceeded north at rapid speed. The Helicopter then proceeded to move in a northerly direction after a few minutes from the Hover.

The helicopter was in the vicinity for around 45 minutes.

This was not a commercial or police helicopter and it was not a SAR helicopter either which will occasionally land at the Ninewells Hospital Helipad.

Now the Helicopter is back again 1 Hour later.

Edit..I should have also said that something had also seriously spooked the Dundee City Centre Seagulls earlier this evening around 23:15 over the City Square. There were hundreds of them circling in the dark above the Caird Hall.

Sounds like your typical secret military helicopter hunting a common UFO holding IR sensitive brain-eating aliens. Happens all the time. No need to be concerned. "Nothing to worry about citizens, go back to bed, all is well." eek

So much of this doesn't make sense, because there was no Police Activity in the area at the time.

Nothing newsworthy anyway. When I was in college, the local PD and the military helos used to play around close to the ground. Including directly over my apartment. I only recall two occasions where anything made the paper, and one of those involved a pair of fire fights.

Can you legally listen in on the police or aviation radios? That's going to be your best source of real time information.
