It is 10:00 PM
How do I know this you ask?Because every night at 2200 Hr one of these flies overhead.
I think I know where it takes off from. Of course I won't go near that place. Those who do are sometimes not seen anytime soon thereafter.
It took many hours of dark of night observation, some by passive infrared and telescope, to get enough compass bearings on the direction of flight to determine an average compass bearing. Many hours were spent pouring over large scale topographical maps matching my location to their flight path. One night I waited at the end of the map and sure enough resumed observation at 2205. I am glad I did, because I could see towards the edge of the new map, a course change happened. So more maps and gear in hand I went there. Unfamiliar territory, not my state, but the reason for the course change was evident. To fit between the mountain passes. So I went across the mountains a few days later and waited. Sure enough around 2015 or so, there it was. A new bearing was obtained. From the mountain far from lights, black or not against the moonlit sky I could see it in my night binoculars. For a long time too. To the edge of the next map on another night. Almost 50 or 60 miles from home now, but I wanted to know. At long last I saw it landing. What was there?
My map offered no clue and I had to go there to see. I found the place. The usual small red white and blue 'no trespassing' signs around it. In daylight I found out where I was. Now I know.
There is another run at 2230. It too passes over my land, but it goes in a different path. Maybe someday I will see where that one goes.

I think!
By The Way!
Can you google that on the google spot light map?
Nah. I am sure they don't mind my keeping it large. I am sure they know local folk see and hear it, 'silenced' or not. Also sure they know some folk are bored enough and have the time and means to find out. But you see in my profile where I am. Let's just say it starts in that area. :)
More than that, perhaps the folks who run black helicopters at night with no lights should be asked.
Yeahhh! Ask them some questions. And demands some answers....
Tell them! I send you....
I need Happy369, for this blog...

It reminds me of when we had a young Sec of Navy back in the Regan years and he had orders cut for his own Navy Reserve Unit assigning himself to helicopter class. Every couple of days he and a co-pilot would fly a chopper from the Pentagon to another installation 30 miles away. Then he would land at the second installation and drive home in the car he had pre-parked there and the co-pilot would take the chopper back to Ft. Belvoir. In the morning, the process would repeat in reverse. He would park his car 30 miles from the Pentagon, the chopper would land, he would fly it to the Pentagon and a co-pilot would put it away till later. In that fashion Weinberger accrued his required flight hours to qualify for his wings and a helicopter license. It was a huge pain in the rear for everyone. Traffic had to be diverted so a chopper could land in a parking lot area, fire trucks standing by, etc. What I daily see with the 'mythical' NWO black helicopters reminds me a lot of that.
