WLS7 & Another Media Outlet flew their copters for 45 minutes by Harlem & Oakton, alarming residents who contacted ChicagoAreaNews for information and details.
From approximately 4:30 to 5:30 two black helicopters were seen and heard over head in the Niles area around Harlem & Oakton Tuesday afternoon.
No word from any of the media outlets involved as to why they were there or what story they may have been covering.
No Niles police or any other officials were present either so a very bizarre situation and a very loud one as the rotors/blades of the copters made for quite the stereo-phonic noise blasting from above.
Heavy rain, with a high of 75 and low of 69 degrees. Overcast for the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon, fog overnight.
