The white emblem cited is the Homeland Security emblem.
Oh... you were talking about those black birds, the ones accompanied by little green men events LOL. Nope, I've not seen any of those lurking about. I'm not getting into that subject on here
.
As per my observations on the birds (different colors, one white and the other was an off red - I don't usually recall colors so that may be wrong) we had flying out here the other day... it was the large bulky instruments on them. One had a large forward pointed collector tube on the front end (about 6" diameter and 6 foot long), looked very much like the sniffing probes we had on the military birds. The other bird (the second) had a tube mounted off the side and pointed down about 12" in diameter and 4-5 feet long with an inverted Cone on the bottom about 24" in diameter. I would suspect some sort of spectrum measuring equipment. They each flew the same pattern over the subdivision with the second bird hovering about at 4 differing locations about 45 minutes after the first bird swept around sniffing things out.
There's a lot of activity out there right now as I write this, can't spot them from here, but they are here now. Maybe bust day? Don't know.
E ho'a'o no i pau kuhihewa.
