Military helicopter reported ‘chasing’ orange orb

A Kansas witness at Lawrence reported watching a military helicopter following a fast-moving orange orb, according to testimony in Case 83535 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was inside and heard the sound of a helicopter at 11:15 p.m. on May 4, 2017.

“It sounded very low and powerful, so I figured it had to be military, and I, being a total nerd, had to run out to the parking lot to get a look,” the witness stated. “By the time I was out my door and in the parking lot, I had just enough time to watch a small orange ball of light being chased by what I assume to be a Blackhawk helicopter (because of size and sound) disappear behind the rooftops of the buildings east of me.”

The witness thought the scene was “bizarre” because he had a similar sighting a few months earlier in the same general area – south of Lawrence not far from Baker Wetlands.

“The light was small and orange in color and was about 50-100 yards ahead of the helicopter. It made no erratic movements, but was travelling at a fair clip as the helicopter was tracking it at almost the exact speed and it was moving pretty quickly.”

The witness was doubtful the object could have been a paper lantern while the color and intensity of the light were similar to one.

“The distance ahead of the helicopter rules out a refueling boom. I'd give the altitude of the two objects to be between 500-1,000 feet AGL and the speed of both to be about 100 knots at the time I saw them.”

I live by lawrence and can confirm this as I witnessed this phenomenon. I have also noticed an increase in military vehicle's, aircraft and involvement in and around the area but it's done in a way to not arouse suspicion. It is on the cloudy nights that you should be looking up and paying attention.

I saw the same exact thing two nights ago (20 April 2018) over Battle Creek, MI. Same thing, heard the loud chopper, being the aviation geek I am, ran outside to see, Blackhawk chasing an orange orb. I was able totrack the chopper or Flightradar.com, it flew toward Union City. I called my friend in union City and told him to go on his porch and see if he could see anything. He saw the chopper but not the orb, (chopper was far north and low). This morning, i called my friend in Tekonsha, MI to tell her about it, and she immediately started telling me that her and her boyfriend both saw a military chopper chasing an orange orb. I found this all facinating, as my cousin in Brooksville, Florida saw the same thing on two different nights there in 2012.

I saw the exact same scenario at 10 40 June 10th 2018
I was watching tv when I heard a helicopter which sounded low and close by and ran out to check it out
There were 3 orange lights which were being chased by a helicopter with its searchlight on
It flew almost over me just over the tree line but was all over in what seemed like less than 15 seconds

I live in Galesburg mi. Outside battle creek. On Ft.Custer Dr. I've had 2 encounters of strange craft over the base with the first and most terrifying being March 2011. Regrettably I was unable to record the first encounter ,but this year I've witnessed 3 object nothing like the first 2 of which I've recorded. I'm in the process of taking out some words but 2 of the 3 times I also heard helicopters. In 1 video I did capture 2 helos on camera that I did not notice in person I will upload these videos shortly and link to this page. Look forward to your critiques.
