Black helicopters that have been spotted in different circumstances in the skies above the US, but also the UK.[1] |
Black helicopters is a term which became popular in the United States militia movement and associated political groups in the 1990s as a symbol and warning sign of an alleged conspiratorial military takeover of the United States.[2][3] Sometimes these helicopters have been described as "silent running" [4][5] and sightings have been also been connected to instances of cattle mutilations and the appearance of UFOs.[6] At some point a division of an American militia connected to Calvin Greenup wanted to shoot down an National Guard helicopter gunship (an AH-64 Apache).[7]
Reporting
Jim Keith wrote articles [8][9][10][11] and two books on the subject: Black Helicopters Over America: Strikeforce for the New World Order (1995), and Black Helicopters II: The End Game Strategy (1998).
Harry V. Martin, who wrote articles about sightings for the Napa Sentinel in the 90s [12] connected some of the air traffic to construction of INTELSAT installations [13] and wrote that these helicopters are in part operated by Wackenhut.[14][15] At one point he also wrote or claimed that black helicopters have been spotted "coming out of caves on Oakville Grade".[16]
Popularization
Helen Chenoweth-Hage, as U.S. Representative for Idaho, was giving nationwide publicity to the sightings of black helicopters in her district.[17]
Mrs. Chenoweth has repeatedly insisted, for example, that Federal Fish and Wildlife agents are using helicopters to work in Idaho, a mountain state with millions of acres of public land. In paramilitary and survivalist circles, helicopters have particular resonance; they are viewed as stealth agents of a global martial force.
But the wildlife agency says it has no helicopters in the gem state, or anywhere else in the West -- and has asked Mrs. Chenoweth to prove her assertion.
"I have never seen them," Mrs. Chenoweth said. "But enough people in my district have become concerned that I can't just ignore it. We do have some proof." (NYT January 15, 1996)[19]
