Military helicopters with searchlights fly over a dark, winding road next to a sign pointing to 'M-20: Containment Area' under a starry night sky, photorealistic.

The Phantom Highway Sign 00:00:00 → This is a true story. In the late 1960s, entire towns reported seeing black helicopters with no markings flying far too low, always at night. 00:00:05 → But the real cover-up wasn't the helicopters; it was the highway signs.
