Over the past several days residents in Zapata have witnessed a Mexican helicopter flying over their neighborhood.

According to the Zapata County Sheriff, he has reported it to federal authorities but nobody is listening.

" Clearly they are Mexican military helicopters and what I understand is that Mexico is saying they had no helicopters in the area. Yet on Sunday witnesses here saw three helicopters in the area."

This is a photograph of one of the helicopters. People and even deputies in Zapata saw it roaming around town along the lake.
The most recent case happened Sunday.

" According to the Zapata County Sheriff, the helicopter comes from Mexico, flies over this area and over those big houses over there and according to witnesses this is occurring more frequently."

" This helicopter came this way by Beacon Lodge and Four Seasons. It hovered over homes around here and made some rounds around like this and went towards Laredo."

As you can see in this picture, the helicopter has been seen flying at 150 to 200 feet from the ground so low that no radars can catch it.

We zoomed in on the picture and you can see the back of the helicopter is open and somebody is sitting down.

" In one incident that happened March 8th, witnesses reported that they saw soldiers or people dressed up as soldiers with machine guns."

Zapata County Sheriff says he has been reporting these sightings to federal authorities but they say nothing comes up in their radars.

" It's so frustrating that our own government is kind of questioning whether in fact these things are happening or not."

In the meantime the Sheriff says he has his hands tied as nobody will listen.

" The only thing you can do is report and then have our U.S. Government and take over. Frankly our government is not doing anything to find out what’s really going on."

According to the Zapata County Sheriff, he has pictures to prove the incident.
But he has gotten reports from residents that the helicopter has been flying over almost every day.
