Here's my theory on how "black helicopter" paranoia began.
 
Having seen a LOT of helicopters, (painted all sorts of colors,
even mostly white)they all APPEAR BLACK when viewed from the
ground, because all you really see is a shadow against the sky
which is far brighter than whatever light is reflected off the
aircraft itself.  Most helicopters are painted with "flat"
points rather than glossy -- especially those owned by
government agencies.  Flat paints tend to be more durable than
glossies (or at least they don't show minor wear as much).

And at night, they appear even "more" black than in daytime.


When is the last time you saw a helicopter flying in the
sky and it did NOT appear to be black?

Most people would rather cling to their conspiracy theories
rather than acknowledge the truth....and most all deliberately
avoid open agendas (in contrast to conspiracies which are
secret, agendas are public).
