CLAIMS TO HAVE KNOWN SPOOKY.....

[rooter]

TET '68, Quang Tri, post enemy attack "Puff" two of them operated
from about 2:30 or 3 am until sunup flying in a circle around the
enemy across the river and North (I think). We watched atop our
bunkers as the classic sound of ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ from the distance
and the almost red tail from the constant beret of tracers seemed to
be on long red light.

Never will forget it. Glad it was coming down on the enemy and
not me. The earth sunk that night across the river.

The first time I saw a Spooky was at night in April 1966 in
PhuBai. It was a mile away and had a glowing, dancing red
ribbon hanging down.
