Just had a Stalkoper hovering and making minimal movements near my small village in mid Germany starting at about 9:40pm and leaving at about 22:10.
It flew around a little about maybe 200-300m from me, relatively low in the air, with a lighting configuration of a red and a another slowly blinking red almost in the same spot. It then turned on a white light which was weird because it must have been the tailrotor light but it was not blinking like a reasonable aircraft would do in the night. It then turned all it's lights off, I guess this is not even legal for a normal airplane. Then it turned on only a strong spotlight pointing to my 9 for about 5 minutes, turned that off aswell and put on the weird red lights configuration again. The only heli that usually flies around here is a relatively new and silent one from the central hospital in the city. But this noisy one sounded like a 2 bladed rotor.
Now I really wonder what kind of engagement this is and what this thing was looking for.
