It's likely the witnesses double and triple-counted helicopters that were circling.<br /><br />Also, if we assume this craft's provenance was CIA or USAF, then it's not likely TF160 would have been involved unless they came upon the craft by chance or there was a serious emergency. The USAF in 1980 was rebuilding its special operations rotary wing assets but did have HH-53s in the CSAR role that could provide heavy lift. The CIA or a contractor like Lockheed could easily have purchased Boeing 234s, the civilian version of the CH-47. These might have been painted in quasi-military liveries. Also, it being dark and the object being blinding in appearance, we have to take any witness testimony of helicopter appearance with a grain of salt.<br /><br />So I think the TF160 or US Army rotary wing involvement in this sighting is a dead end.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368304148856755482noreply@blogger.com
