While sitting outside here in Chadron, northwestern Nebraska, less than 10 minutes ago, a helicopter was suddenly heard coming from west heading straight east over town. It really snuck up, the rotors spinning slowly & pretty quietly. The appearance of the craft was like nothing personally ever seen, nor can anything be found online so far, in both images & web, in the several minutes since while Googling.
Appearance- Extremely slim, narrow body; red & white paint; pointy snout; a dark boom of sorts sticking well out from the right side & bent downward toward the end. This helicopter is far narrower than an unarmed Apache, the sleekest whirlybird you can imagine, with an unusual sound to the rotors being quieter & beating slower. It appeared that it may have counter-props. Estimated altitude: 700 to 800 feet agl, flying almost straight over my head at the zenith. Am absolutely stumped so far. Drone, perhaps?
A very curious sighting, obviously an ultra-modern design. Anyone been seeing anything like this? Anyone have any information? Have got one idea but this sounds unusual enough without my speculation this early on. Thanks.
