BIZARRE 'COPTERS IN CASPER

Just off Hat Six Road, dozens of men huddle in the unforgiving winds blowing off of Casper Mountain, peering through night vision glasses, scanning the sky. Some unknown force has been flying helicopters, sometimes in formation, through the darkness, they say, three nights a week, three hours a night, for more than a year, even when spied through $5,000 night-vision goggles, the men must identify the aircraft by their strobe patterns alone.

Reports of the sightings have reached the governor's office, the sheriff's office, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Wyoming Naitonal Guard. None of the agencies can explain what's going on. The FAA says it's investigating eyewitness reports, according to Mitch Barker at the regional office in Seattle.

Whatever the lights in the sky are, they're not U.S. military - or, presumably, any other military, says Wyoming National Guard Adjutant General Ed Boenisch, who says he's exhausted every imaginable lead and turned up no proof of training missions or operations, period. He thinks the huge sky and curvature of the Earth may be playing tricks with the men's eyes, fooling them into thinking commercial aircraft hundreds of miles away are something else.
