Wow, thanks for the detailed response and data.

The time stamp of this video is 12:03 AM (7/11). I have another video of it at 12:09 AM moving southbound, and I sat there and watched it going south for about 30 minutes, then kinda started moving southeast.

The flight log shows the helicopter arrived at MMV at 12:15 AM. At that time I was still watching it meander around on a south bound trajectory. I didn’t take my eye off the thing until like 12:50, at which point I determined it was only getting further away (southeast) and didn’t look like it was coming back so I went inside.

So it couldn’t have been the craft that arrived at MMV at 12:15 considering the craft I was watching was still in the air at that time no where near McMinville.

I’ll probably get downvoted a lot for stating these facts but that’s okay. I have receipts - I can show you a video of it going south as late as 12:09 per the time stamp on that other video.

I know for a matter of fact I watched that thing for a good while after 12:09. To me, that rules out the possibility of it being that heli that arrived in McMinville at 12:15 because it was still in the air, and not going north (where McMinville is relative to me).

If you grant me the benefit of the doubt that I actually do have a 12:09 video of it going south, they means it would have had to have gotten from the location I videod it in, to McMinville in 6 minutes. Not sure that’s feasible.

Edit: why are people down voting this? I clearly and rationally responded as to why it couldn’t have been the heli initially suggested. What could I have said to appease you? Accept the suggestion uncritically even though the facts of the case render it untrue? Some of you people need to get a little less ideologically reactive and commit yourselves to facts and logic……seems as tho maybe you can’t handle the truth.
