A mysterious Soviet-era transport helicopter unexpectedly landed in a field in Eldorado, North Carolina.

Several men with backpacks disembarked and headed into the nearby woods,
leaving the Mi-171E1 (20-2131) behind overnight.

Messages on FB are saying it was a planned landing. Crew left for an exercise in the area, and departed next day....
