Low-flying Helicopter With Spotlight

Helicopter with spotlightA number of people are reporting an extremely low-flying helicopter in the Ferndale/Loleta area about 6:30 p.m. Residents of the area said the helicopter had a bright spotlight.

Some noted that it sounded more like a Coast Guard helicopter. We’ve left a message requesting information with the Coast Guard but haven’t heard back.

If anyone has any information, please add it to the comment section to share with the rest of the readers.

I love how the Redbelted Blackhead posts these sort of stories, pandering to the paranoid potfarmer.

It’s almost as cute as the attempts to censor people with unconvenient opinions.

If you were really concerned about not having opinions deleted, phrasing them in a more civil manner might help. In fact Kym has let this stand when she certainly has a rule against distorting words to be offensive only because she’s more tolerant of abuse against herself than abuse of others. You should be glad because this is the only news site so tolerate of off the street opinions.

Not trying to censor, bro, but unconvenient ain’t a word. But I still like it. It’s like when my papers are misplaced; I’ve been ‘unconvenianced’. Nice..

Just another way for the government to spy on us. I keep a laser to stop such intrusions into my privacy. There going to be blinking quite a while after flying over my house. What i do is their is none of you’re business Mr govener.

Dolphin m-65 I’ve lived here my whole live born raised it was coast guard. P.s I’m a UFO believer too but it wasn’t that

I view it very positively. As long as they are commenting here, they are not out in the community causing trouble. The best mental health facility we have nowadays.

Could it have been someone filming the Trucker’s Parade in Fortuna? It was loud and flying low.

MD 500/600 has that whine, but its not the gearbox whine of the C.G. bird. Now, get back on that crack pipe….

Flew over my place in bayside it was a Ch 53 more than likely training mission probably from Camp Pendalton maybe tho thats way up north. So i dont know wtf it was doing up here but soon as i heard it coming I knew it was military. they have a distinct whompa whompa whompa whompa sound where most civilian helos have kind of a wopwopwopwopwop sound……if that makes any sense..

The southern Humboldt paranoia, fueled by freaked out pot growers is alive and well on this site.
Next time you are lying mangled in the road after over driving your grow dozer, tell the Air Med people you don’t want no Goddamned helicopter hanging around you.
Put your tinfoil hats on, jump into bed and pull the covers tightly over your head.

Los Angeles was my first thought too.

Forget growers’ paranoia.

You don’t EVER want helicopter patrols like in LA. End times awful.
