There's been helo circling N Seattle last 30 minutes (now 12:42pm).
Called all the media. Not any of theirs.
Got a camera on the bottom front.
Silver/grey color. Do not see any markings other than aircraft number that I cannot read.

Might be Flint or Omaha, perhaps someone knows what the current local color schemes are.

Still up as of 7pm.

Grey over "dark" AStar. I agree with Rich, likely FLINT or OMAHA.

Maybe "they" finally swapped out or repainted the same birds that have been watching the
bad guys here for the past 20 or so years. I think Matt used to have a photo online showing
all 3 of them at BFI.

Nope.

I didn't get a really good look at it nor any photos or video of it but it WAS an AS350 with a nose
mounted white ball camera turret. I didn't see a radome on the underside.

The lighting was a bit difficult, in and out of shade/light from the broken clouds so it was hard to tell the actual color but it appeared to be grey or silver upper half and a darker color lower half.

If you know what KING5 TV's regular SKYKING AS350 looks like (white/blue/yellow) imagine it with the above colors and that's what I and Radiorange saw over NE Seattle for several hours.

Most likely one of the "Alphabet" Agencies.
