ELLETTSVILLE, Ind. (WISH) - An Ellettsville woman was surprised on Friday when a National Guard Black Hawk helicopter landed near her property.

Although the image she sent makes it appear the Black Hawk landed quite near a children's play set, photographs provided by the National Guard give a better idea of the proximity of the helicopter to the woman's home.

The woman said she heard the helicopter circling before it landed and she saw men in fatigues.

She sent a photo to WISH-TV through Report It! Click through the photos to the left to see all three, including the ones from the National Guard.

National Guard officials said the Black Hawk was being used in conjunction with the Indiana State Police in an effort to find marijuana plants. Together, state police and the military discovered about 60 plants.
