...I was staying at a friend's home in western CT, and one cool, very clear night I was on top of a hill with some binoculars, stargazing...I saw two helicopters approaching, very close together. As they passed over me, I noticed that they were flying parallel to each other, and their blades were moving in unison like they were a pair of eggbeaters. I've never seen, or heard, of helicopters being able to do that...I guess Uncle Sam has some weird stuff up his sleeve...Area 51, anybody?
