Does this fit the description of a helicopter at night?

Question

In Uk- White light in front, flashing red light at the back/on top (It was hard to tell which exactly).

Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Nope, the one I saw had a spinny thing on top...

Answer 2

yeah they also have green light on left and red light on right side, they are navigation night

Answer 3

It could be any type of aircraft, including a helocopter.

The flashing red light is an anti-collision beacon, common on all aircraft.

White tail lamp, Green for Starboard and Red for Port..Anti-collision lamps are usually flashing Red, placed on fuselage top or under the pod. There may also be white strobes.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Yes sounds like either a helicopter with a search light on

there are no piggin aliens- except for our goverment and local councils officials

Answer 7

Did it make a very loud and dull sounding rotation of helicopter blades? it would have sounded as though it was rotating in a "bass"type sound.

if so it may have been an AH-64 apace gunship which are doing a lot of exercises of late arounf the uk in order for a deployment to afghanistan.

Answer 8

It has a flashing yellow light as well. Also it makes a sound like the flying saucers in the War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise.
