Description
This flashback takes me back a few decades ago. I hear a loud aircraft sound. I look to the north and see a military helicopter flying west. Seconds later, another haze grey colored helo appears. They fly over Alcatraz Island - it's summer so it's packed with visitors - then the two helos turn around over the western part of the iconic SF landmark, then fly off to the east, the route they came. They both fly back toward the island, and turn around again, and that's it. Gone. Perhaps a confused covert convict escape operation? If so, did anyone tell the team and pilots the prison has been closed for decades? I was a wee land when the convicts escaped back in 1962, and the wharves and piers were guarded by armed police for days. I remember it as if it were yesterday... BUT this is today, and they are no more convicts on the island prison. A mystery then and now on this pandemic Day 829.
