`Thingsandalsostuff` [Thread]

In Middle school, A friend and I were playing around with some pretty
high grade walkie-talkies his dad had brought home. You know, just
calling out to each other down the street, having fun like kids do. All
of a sudden, we decided to play around with the channel frequency. After
awhile we started hearing what we thought was helicopter chatter. Things
about landing zones and what time to pick up certain things from "the
helipad", along with the low sound of chopper blades. "Neat!" we
thought. We kept listening. All of a sudden we heard "Sir, I believe we
have a security breach on this channel. We're tracking it now." We
looked at each other. "Yeah right, this is some kind of prank, how could
they know?" All of a sudden, we heard a helicopter off in the distance,
it being just barely visible. It looked almost like a news helicopter,
except it was painted flat white. The chatter started again, and they
said a bunch of things I can't really remember about the helicopter
coordinating with people on the ground. All of a sudden, we saw three
black unmarked vans roll by. SUVs, the kind with tinted windows. (Think
Umbrella) They went down the block and right by us. "Holy shit. Was that
because of us..?" So we went out on to the road. All of a sudden a voice
came out of the radio: "Meatball one, meatball one, stay off the pasta."
We were confused. This happened the second we stepped on the road. We
assumed our signal was "meatball" and the road was "pasta." We tested it
about four more times, stepping off, then back. EVERY time we hit the
road, the same message came crackling through about a second later.
Needless to say, as kids we were scared shitless and had no idea what to
do. We knew we didn't want to end up in those black cars though. So we
shut off the radios and threw them off in to the brush in the distance.
(In hindsight, it was only a few meters from us. That was pretty dumb.)
We ran home and hid. Nothing else happened the rest of the day.

I don't live near an army base of any kind.
