Starting about 1:45 p.m. a small chopper described by various onlookers as either blue and white or black and white began flying low over the  Salmon Creek/Bear Buttes area west of Miranda.

One grower who said he had his Humboldt County application in described someone leaning out the window with a camera and turning on a siren as they left the area. It made a “whoop, whoop” sound, he said.

Until we know for sure, I think we should call them UFO’s.

The blue and white bubble helicopter has been buzzing ganja fields for years. Hanson is sometimes in a black and gold helicopter as well.

Why would folks in Humboldt County be so concerned with a helicopter?

Saw it. Circled us, saw 2 or 3 people. One held something in his hand, got us thinking of what it might be.
