Seeing a helicopter over or near Baltimore isn't unusual.
It's usually the police helicopter; occasionally it's one of
the television news choppers. It's rare to see two at once,
but that might happen over a really big fire -- you might see
two television birds or a television one and the police one.
But this afternoon I saw [nothing at all, nope, nope *eyes
alyxyn and the comments warily*] a flight
of helicopters
(four of them) flying around just south of the city (making a
huge circle, I think, but I didn't see them long enough to be
sure). They were all dark coloured, like the Baltimore police
helicopter, but too high for me to see markings. I think three
were the same (or very similar) model, but one had a noticeably
different shape.
I wonder what was going on.
