Black helicopters that have been spotted in different circumstances in the skies above the US, but also the UK.

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.[1][2] Sometimes these helicopters have been described as "silent running" [3][4] and sightings have been also been connected to instances of cattle mutilations and the appearance of UFOs.[5] 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).[6]

Reporting

Jim Keith wrote articles [7][8][9][10] 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 [11] connected some of the air traffic to construction of INTELSAT installations [12] and wrote that these helicopters are in part operated by Wackenhut.[13][14] At one point he also wrote or claimed that black helicopters have been spotted "coming out of caves on Oakville Grade".[15]

Popularization

Helen Chenoweth-Hage, as U.S. Representative for Idaho, was giving nationwide publicity to the sightings of black helicopters in her district.[16]

A photo of a helicopter that is flying over private property in the US (possibly 1990s).[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)[18]
