(1973/10/18) Coyne Helicopter incident
From Razing-Wiki
This is a strong case:
- disconnection from radio chatter indicating interference (or hoax)
- numerous corroborating witnesses
- two sets of unconnected witnesses
- irregular flight maneuvers (ruling out atmospheric), stopped mid-flight, and performed a 45 degree turn.
- shown a green light through the cockpit of the helicopter indicating some form of technology.
- unlikely a manned secret craft of any sort:
- a fixed-wing aircraft moving across the line of sight would appear to move most rapidly when passing directly in front of the observer;
- a fixed-wing aircraft would not have the capability of decelerating from high velocity to "hover" within a few seconds time;
- a helicopter would have the capability of hovering, but would not be capable of the high forward speeds reported;
- a conventional aircraft, if within 500 to 1,000 feet, would have produced noise audible inside the helicopter;
- the FAA requires either a strobe or a rotating beacon on either the top or bottom of the fuselage,
- FAA requires that no aircraft shall fly below 10,000 feet msl at speeds above 250 knots;
- some of the features of a conventional aircraft would have been seen, e.g., wings, engine pods, windows, empennage, numbers, logo.
