Looks like a Coast Guard helicopter overhead during Steve Bannon's arrest on a yacht in Westbrook, CT.
Data from @ADSBexchange shows the Coast Guard HH-60J aircraft starts circling the area around 6:35AM, just after sunrise. Cirlces for about an hour and then departs.
The Lady May yacht, owned by Chinese businessman and Bannon acquaintance Guo Wengui, was picked up near Westport, CT on June 17th. It matches description of a 150ft yacht. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:384976/zoom:10
@hartfordcourant reporting that yacht is the Lady May https://www.courant.com/breaking-news/hc-br-bannon-arrested-connecticut-20200820-aogsf64fr5axpheyas2xhsst7u-story.html
This is an absurd boat
Here's Steve Bannon and Guo Wengui in front of the Lady May and the Statue of Liberty from a recent livestream
Weird - in 2017 the ship may have been hacked, nearly causing a collision

Bannon was on Fox News a few days ago talking about the convention. He may be on the Lady May yacht. Over his left shoulder is a lighthouse. Can anyone identify it? @quiztime

Guo is also a member at Mar-a-lago... and is being accused of being a double agent posing as a dissident.

Apparently Guo was broadcasting live this morning after the arrest as reporters film from a boat in the background.

How do you spend the day after your buddy Steve Bannon gets pulled off your yacht by feds? Eating scallops while streaming of course.
@WTNH got a photo of Bannon on board before the arrest
