"After taking several flash pictures of the helicopter, it suddenly turned and headed straight for me" - Weird Anomalies in Sky & Suspicious Helicopter Reported Near Fort Worth

• When: January 27th, 2015
• Where: Aledo (Fort Worth area)
• What: White disc-shaped object, purple streaks in sky, suspicious helicopter
  

Report of strange purple lights, a white disc-shaped object hovering, and a suspicious black helicopter from a month ago has just now been submitted to MUFON. The photos are hard to judge, as it's not clear what's going on in each of them, but along with the witness testimony, it's definitely worth sharing:

At the supper table of our daughter, our 4-year-old grand daughter pointed out the window and yelled "Look, look! Purple lines in the sky!" The fact that she noticed something like that surprised me as much as anything. I got up to look and there were several dark purple, elongated clouds(?) 15-20° above the horizon which were unusual and extraordinarily spectacular, but I thought were just very, long stringy clouds in the distance.

The rest of the sky was totally cloudless; but as I was looking away, something caught my eye at 30° above the horizon to the SW, a white cloud; perfectly formed like a disc; angled at 45°. I pointed it out to my wife who thought it impressively unusual, as well. We got the kids settled and I decided to go out to the backyard for a better look with the sun setting. The disc-shaped cloud had not moved at all; not in position, size or shape; and, this was over the period of an 45 minutes to an hour.I decided to take some pictures with my old 4S iPhone (attached). For this area, a motionless cloud at that angle for that length of time was, as least in my experience, most unusual.

As I was thinking this, a low-flying jet (under 500') flew right overhead; except it did not go towards the disc-shaped cloud, it headed straight for the horizon - then, it suddenly put its afterburners on - the first time I had seen that happen in person (it looked like two, close-set fire red eyes heading away from me.) I did not get a picture of that, unfortunately; but I started taking them soon after. I decided to move out away from the trees and into the pasture when I heard a helicopter heading for the horizon from the South. I started taking pictures of the helicopter heading towards the horizon and noticed the flash was on - though I doubt it would light up anything. .

After taking several flash pictures of the helicopter, it suddenly turned and headed straight for me and was getting there fast. Normally, I would stand out in the open and just watch it fly over - but something told me I should retreat to the cover of the trees; I continued to take pictures of the helicopter, but no longer saw its lights. The helicopter flew directly over the house, not more than 100' high and it was not a small craft - it was a double-blade Sikorsky-type helicopter and it was jet-black and unmarked with numbers or insignias. It was now dark and the helicopter was almost indistinguishable through the barren trees against the sky. I was really surprised as I was expecting to see an Army-green helicopter, not a jet-black one (I thought to myself “no way...”). I tried to take its picture as it flew over but it didn't take or I missed the button, probably the latter.

I went back in the house and told my wife about it and decided to go to an upstairs porch and look through a spotting scope and binoculars to see if I could see anything; but before I could get focused on anything, two low flying jets, one a couple of seconds ahead of the other passed by. I decided to go back indoors for the night after that. However, none of the aircraft flew towards the disc-shaped cloud, which remained unchanged in size, shape or position until it was too dark to see.

I cannot say what, if anything, was going on that was UFO related; but it was an anomalous night for several first-time experiences and sights for me.
