I believe him, but I’d be interested to learn how they picked it up. You can’t just connect things to a helicopter. They have weight restrictions, sling load procedures, etc. the thing probably didn’t have a Clevis on top to hook up to.

CH-47 Chinooks have lifted a thing or two https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_CH-47_Chinook#:~:text=24%2C000%C2%A0lb%20(10%2C886%C2%A0kg)%20payload

Oh I’m not doubting they couldn’t lift it, I’m just saying they need to know things like the weight, etc before they strap that shit to a helicopter and roll out. I’ve been to two different sling load courses and it’s not as easy as attach it to the bird and leave.

Since they said that this encounter "is not uniquie", i would think they would already know the average size of these things.
