It wasn't helicopter it was another UFO crash. The government is using the helicopter story as a cover.

It was not a coast guard helicopter. Initial reports said it was but that was later corrected. It was a private 2 seater training helicopter. Both occupants had only minor injuries

No it wasn't, it was a private heli, the student was taking private lessons, nothing to do with the coast guard. The Coast guard was going to land there LATER that day for an event, it just so happened that this non- coast guard heli crashed there from power failure. The heli would have actually landed with pretty much minor damage if they didn't clip a fence on their way down

You obviously don't know, because the HC-130 is a cargo plane. But I can see how you would confuse that with a 2 seat helicopter.
