Well they must have known it was a helicopter even if it was sqwuaking 7500. But I guess a helicopter can cause all sorts of misery to a populated area, and it makes sense to scramble two jets just in case one goes wrong/gets taken out.
verdict: No aliens..
or are there...

Couldn't hear it either. Perhaps the clouds absorbed, and the wind dissipated, the sound? |

Well yeah, obviously, duh!  But how does it being dark explain why it could not be heard? (assuming it was even flying overhead at all) |

I bet the pilot of the helicopter needed some dry cleaning done after seeing those two buggers coming at him.

Nice logic, but considering that sound moves at the speed of sound, I see a flaw. |

It was such poetic logic that I feel dirty for pointing out such a minor detail. |

There was a North Korean missile launch yesterday - maybe the RAF thought it had gone a bit off course
