Twitter user @yankees368 somehow tracked the helicopter reg N666NY to one hovering 5,600 ft over Atlantic and Flatbush last night.</p> <p>A little Googling connected the registrant's address to Sky River Helicopters in NJ, who confirmed to me it was their Robinson R44 (and possibly a second helo taking turns) doing an evening-long traffic study for the DOT.</p> <p>It's arena-related. Sky River had no idea, but they were super nice and forthcoming.</p> <p>We can take our tinfoil hats off (for now!) - and probably thank Bruce Ratner for the excitement...</p> <p>Confirmed. Baseline study of traffic conditions pre-arena opening for DOT.</p> <p>Beats aerial drones or black helicopters any time though.

No way it has to do with a movie being filmed.

There's still a lot of construction and debris surrounding it. If it's commissioned by the city or the Nets, I can understand why they'd want aerial shots of it before being completed, but the thing isn't totally finished. Plus, the helicopter was up there for like, 5 hours. I can't imagine they needed to shoot from the same vantage point for 5 whole hours. Unless it was circling-- and forgive me if I'm wrong, but it didn't sound like it was circling. It just sounded like it was hovering.... </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/helicopter-hovering-over-my-house#post-755272 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 23:34:57 +0000 arlette 755272@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Well I called and was told .....a movie is being filmed they want shots of the new arena also. dont know if that is true but allegedly that is the reason for the helicopters. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/park-slope/helicopter-hovering-over-my-house#post-755270 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 23:25:30 +0000 arlette 755270@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Omg...it is 11:24pm and I am in Clinton Hill and this damn helicopter has been up there about five hours now.
