[Scan-DC] Possible USCG SAR in the Bay

[Andrew Leyden]

8:25 Thursday

Was just overflown by a (possible) USCG HH-65 Dauphin (or MSP 
Trooper) which had two searchlights on looking on the waters of the 
Bay.  Came from the Eastern Shore and headed to the Navy Research 
Lab-Chesapeake Beach before turning North.  Grabbed the scanner and 
started the band of all maritime frequencies and heard:

"We would be willing to assist but we need to know what sort of 
equipment is needed."

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the LCD display outside, so it could 
have been some fisherman for all I know.

Anyway, the helo went over my house in Chesapeake Beach and I think 
it was orange (judging by the color of the fuselage under the 
spotlight) but knowing how the night can mess everything up I can't 
be sure if it was USCG or MSP.  Chopper headed up toward Deale and 
Annapolis area, and I haven't heard anything since.
