- Weird crescent-shaped UFOs and black helicopters have
been playing a strange game of cat-and-mouse in the suburbs north of Dallas,
Texas during the past month. On May 21, 1997, residents of a suburb known
as
 The Colony spotted "a black, double-rotor
helicopter (Boeing Vertol CH-47 Chinook--J.T.) flying low, making lots
of noise and circling the pasture behind our house." On June 7, 1997,
at around 9 p.m., Amy H. went out to her car and saw "a huge, yellow-orange
cescent moon." After a brief drive around the block, she returned
home and began sorting firewood. Then she "noticed it had started
to eclipse and was rapidly shrinking...I went back to sorting my wood and
then realized the moon just does NOT eclipse that fast.
I looked up again and the 'moon' was back in full crescent. So I stood
there and watched it. It started 'eclipsing' again, and that's when I knew
something was wrong." Amy ran indoors to fetch her videocamera, but
when she returned, the "crescent moon" was gone. Days later,
Amy spoke on the telephone with a family who had seen a similar UFO in
northern Texas. No sooner had she finished speaking to the other witnesses
than "a large, charcoal-colored military plane, a smaller plane right
behind and a helicopter behind the smaller plane flew over my house at
4:15 p.m." The planes circled the house "while the helicopter
flew to the northwest and circled the exact spot where I'd seen the crescent-shaped
object on the (June) 6th... I filmed the helicopter as it flew in low,
tight circles...It did this for about 20 minutes, flew off to the northwest,
returned 10 minutes later and circled again for 20 minutes, then flew directly
overhead and went south (towards Dallas)." On Friday, June 27, 1997,
around 10:45 p.m., Amy and her daughter were in the backyard swimming pool,
looking to the north and talking "when we saw a huge bright flash
directly north of where we were looking. It lit up the entire area and
half the sky. We were amazed by what we had just witnessed and thought
it might have been a plane crashing, a meteor, an explosion or something
really big blew up." "Within three to four minutes of this bright
flash/ explosion, we saw a helicopter fly in from the northwest,"
Amy added.
"It began circling the area where we saw the flash/explosion and was
shining two bright beams of light on the ground as if searching the area.
I grabbed my videocamera and filmed it. It circled real low and shined
the beams of light all over the area, would land over there for awhile,
and then circle some more for about 20 minutes. Finally, it flew off to
the northwest but returned about 10 to 15 minutes later and started circling
and then landing with the beams of light on."
Reviewing the video, Amy noticed something odd. "At one point, I saw
a little blinking light flying around out in the field, and it flew around,
looped towards the helicopter light and disappeared. In playing the videotape
back in slow motion, we found that the little blinking light goes directly
up to the helicopter and seems to 'merge' with it. It really looks strange,
so I am hoping to send the footage off for analysis." (Email Interview)
