Helicopters that hovered over protests near the White House on Monday night likely were scanning the crowd for weapons and potential vehicle-borne threats, a former hostage rescue official told Just the News.
“These helicopters have sensors that allow them to detect threats based on heat signatures, and in all probability, that’s what they were doing,” said Dale McElhattan, former director of the Office of Hostage Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
At least two helicopters were spotted flying low over Washington, D.C. on June 1, according to eyewitnesses and reports on social media. The helicopters included a UH-72 Lakota and a UH-60 Black Hawk, painted in what appear to be U.S. Army colors, but with no markings to show what unit they belong to. The Lakota was painted with red crosses designating it as a medical aircraft.
The helicopters reportedly hovered in place, low enough for their rotor wash to knock down tree branches and kick up ground debris.
