Federal
Aviation Administration Investigators have had no
luck identifing so-called "Black
Helicopters" reported in the area of Comal
and surrounding counties over the last few
months.
Rancher
John Cores filed a complaint after black and dark
blue choppers began hovering over his property
during the Summer and Fall. (Click for related
story.)
Cores
says he saw no discernible ID markings on the
aircraft.
"One
tried to land by my cattle tank, but left when I
approached," Cores says.
"It
had no number I could see."
FAA
inspector Tom Hennessee looked into the matter,
but conceded it is "virtually
impossible" to know who is operating the
helicopters without knowing an ID number.
Hennessee
says Cores is not alone.
"Such
complaints are not uncommon," he noted.
Cores
was able to get some photographs of one fly over.
Hennessee says he is evaluating the pictures.
"My
biggest concern is that they are scaring my
cattle. I want it to stop," Cores said.
