Something really weird is currently happening. After posting my entry earlier, I watched a couple of Youtube videos before taking myself to the shop for the evening’s supplies. Coming back, though, I noticed a helicopter over the collection of houses and flats where I live. That’s nothing too unusual – helicopters fly over fairly frequently on their way to places. I then noticed, though, that this helicopter wasn’t going anywhere: it was flying in circles and weird patterns over the houses, at an altitude of two or three hundred metres. I thought it might even be trying to land somewhere nearby. Intrigued, I decided to stay outside and watch for a bit, as I still have a liking for helicopters.

I assumed it would fly on after a few minutes, but I watched it for half an hour and it was still flying in the same strange patterns. In fact I still think it’s up there. It might be a police helicopter searching for something or someone, but then wouldn’t there also be police down here on the ground helping it? It could also be a pilot being trained, which could explain the odd flight patterns; but I don’t think such lessons would be held above a residential area like this. It’s all very curious, and I can’t help imagining that something clandestine or secretive might be involved: Who knows, maybe Double O Seven himself is up there. Of course it’s probably something much more mundane, and if anyone has any ideas about what it could be, please leave a comment.
