Years ago, when I lived at our last place, with mountain views, my kids were bubs then and as a mum having to get up in the night a few times to go into kitchen and warm their milk bottle.... so one night.... clear night too.... I look out my kitchen widow with a big outdoor view, and saw a bright object wizzing around, fast and able to turn right angles at a speed I never seen anything do before.
Then helicopters came from nowhere with big spot lights.... trying to hone in on this cheeky bright object.... where did them helicopters come from ? I saw very bright lights in a row of 4....on up top in the mountain in the distance.... like some hidden base.
I lived at this last place for 8 years, and saw it happen another time, earlier in the night... I called the husband to come look... so both of us in awe at this display of a fast quiet moving lit up object.... and then those mountain lights came on and there were then helicopters again chasing it... but this bright object zigged and zagged effortlessly and then, shot straight up in the sky like lightening speed and disappeared.
We watched a while until those helicopters retrieved... went towards the mountainous lights, then it was all quiet and those lights turned off.
Again it was a clear night.
Being in the 1990’s our camera was just a cheap film camera, no good trying to take night shots.
We live in a dip in road last 27 years so see nothing from there.
I wondered about them strange lights within the mountain range and helicopters appearing from that direction. What was that all about?
