Never seen an attack helicopter in person before but I've seen this guy twice in the past couple of weeks,  first in Simsbury then this afternoon in Ellington.

Anybody else see it?

Were you close enough to positively ID it?

From a distance the Kaman choppers can carry a similar profile.

Very clear. Flew directly over my house at probably 1,000 ft.

Literally this minute just went over my house.

My house and windows were rattling like it was about to come down!

Must have been no more than 200 ft above the ground.  Less than 100 feet above my tree line.

Alongside of it was another helicopter.  I think either a Huey  or Blackhawk I’m not that great at identification.


ETA:
Someone that seems to know said it was a group of cobras...

I saw the same formation (yesterday) a bit south of you. It appeared to be 3 blackhawks and 2 attack helicopters.
