What Is This Celestial Body - Police Surveillance Helicopter

[halcyonmeadows]

nothing like being awakened by a loud thudding noise that shakes the roof at 3 in the morning. white lights illuminate the street outside my window; i guess that red light is infra-red? Not just once or twice, but almost every night - i can see the helicopter not just the lights and the noise is incredible. How do you get back to sleep after that? You don't.
