Full Description & Details

At around 9:30pm there was an explosion in the sky near my neighbourhood. A yellow flash came through my windows, and about 1/2 to 1 second later the blast noise came. From this I'd estimate the explosion to be around 100meters away. My house, specifically the window where the light came through, is blocked by a large building, so I'd estimate the height of the blast being 60 meters. The blast noise made my windows rattle.

When I got outside to check what had happened, I noticed it was windy out, but the sky was clear of cloud. It could not have been a storm. I could not see anything in the sky from which I could account to the blast.

At around 11pm, a black helicopter entered the area. (I've seen police helicopters at night before, and have been quite able to make out the white painted areas of them, but this one all I had to assume it was a helicopter was the position of its lights and the sound it was making. It was as dark as the sky surrounding it.)

It did 2 (possibly 3) cicle passes of the area with two search lights on. Once coming directly over my house. It was flying quite low, no more than 100meters up.

Later on at around 11:45 while I was on the phone to a friend about what had happened, the helicopter returned. My friend saw it take off from an area near his home (while we were talking), put its search lights on and do a circle pass of his area, before returning to my area for another 2 circle passes, and then returning to his area before flying off into the distance (east) without returning.

Witness Background

I am a 19 year old student. I've been interested in ufology for some years, dabbling in research and reports for a long while. I've been out on UFOwatches before but this is the first "sighting" I've had.

Other Comments

For the last 1 to 2 months, the same helicopter[s] have been doing circle passes of my neighbourhood (and most likely other parts of town) at anywhere between 8pm and 1am, always with search lights out. In all the time I've lived in this town, I can not recall any other time when a helicopter has flown over the town at night, other than in the last 1 to 2 months where it has happened at least 5 times.
