**Misaligned Antenna Leads to Loss of Contact with Black Hawk Near DCA, Report Says**
In a shocking turn of events that has left military officials scratching their heads and adjusting their glasses, a misaligned antenna has been blamed for the loss of contact with a Black Hawk helicopter near Washington D.C. The incident, which occurred just outside the bustling DCA airport, has sparked a flurry of conspiracy theories, memes, and a new line of “I lost my Black Hawk” T-shirts.
According to the official report, the helicopter was simply “too cool for school” and decided to take a spontaneous detour to grab a coffee at the nearest Starbucks. “We thought it was just a routine flight,” said Colonel Chuck “Not My Fault” McFly. “But apparently, the pilot was trying to tune into a podcast about UFOs and accidentally switched to the wrong frequency. Who knew Black Hawks had such eclectic taste?”
Witnesses reported seeing the helicopter hovering awkwardly, as if it were trying to figure out how to parallel park in a crowded lot. “It looked like my uncle trying to use a smartphone for the first time,” said local resident Betty “I Swear I Saw It” Thompson. “One minute it was there, and the next it was gone. I thought it was just playing hide and seek!”
In a bizarre twist, the helicopter’s crew later claimed they were “just testing the limits of their Wi-Fi connection.” Pilot Jim “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” Johnson stated, “We were trying to connect to the DCA network, but it turns out the antenna was misaligned. I guess we should have read the manual… or at least Googled it.”
As the military scrambles to realign the antenna and restore contact, social media has exploded with hashtags like #AntennaGate and #BlackHawkDownButNotOut. Meanwhile, the Black Hawk has reportedly been spotted at a local bar, enjoying a round of drinks and discussing its next flight plan with a group of confused pigeons.
In the end, the incident serves as a reminder that even the most advanced technology can sometimes be as reliable as a cat trying to use a litter box. As Colonel McFly put it, “Next time, we’ll make sure our antennas are aligned. And maybe we’ll also invest in a GPS.”
