I was outside in the dark with my dog. I had my Sunwayman D40A in my hand. A helicopter flew over. I shined my light up in the air. " Not at the helicopter".
The helicopter started circling me. He/they circled me at least 10 times. I was hoping they would spot light me as I was going to wave at them. They never put the light on me.
At about circle 5, I ran inside and got me Noctigon Meteor. I was lighting up two large suger maples in my yard. They just kept circling.
Every time the copter got close, I would kill my light.
I had fun with them. I suspect it was a police helicopter.
Yes, I know a person should never shine a flashlight or laser at an aircraft. I was careful and did not shine my light directly at the helicopter.
Now I wish I had a good thrower like an Acebeam K70.
I have flown in a helicopter before. At low altitude everything looks flat and you can see things good.
I know they saw my light good.
I only used a straight beam. No SOS, no strobe.
It is about an hour later and no police have showed at my door.
