Me and a friend of mine went camping in hawley lake arizona which is apache reservation.My friend and i were on our last day at the lake. Around 8:30pm we had our dinner and then layed back in our folding chairs and just admired the scenery(it was a clear night and the sky was full of stars).It was about this time while we were talking that my friend almost jumped out of his chair and said" what the heck was that?" I turned around and did'nt see anything.I asked him what it was he saw and he told me that he saw a pulsating light beyond the trees. I knew he saw something because he's never reacted that way before. About a minute or two later, for no reason at all i turned around and looked at a clearing through the pine trees and looked up. There was a bright light up in the sky and a dimmer light underneath it. It was over tree top level. Maybe 100ft to 175ft high. Just as i saw the lights they both started to go dim until they just went out completely. I could see a black form moving very slow above trees but couldn't make it out due to so many trees in the way. It made absolutely no noise what so ever. About a minute later we heard what at first was the sound of a plane, but as the sound came closer it was definately a helecopter. I told my friend that i'll bet him the helecopter was following that object in the sky. Sure enough it flew right above us and towards the same direction as the flying object went. We both just stared as each other and i said to him if this really happen? Nevertheless after this experience, we went to sleep for the night. I hate to admit it, but i was a little nervous that night because i figured that the flying object would come back later that night.....to my knowldge it didn't....P.S.The day before this happened we were invited to a camp fire get together and i over heard the camp host that he had seen a ufo all lite up the night before......posssibly what we saw......can you keep me posted if anyone else has seen anything peculiar at hawley lake? thanks..! ........
