So here is the story...
I live in Ohio by Lake Erie about 40 miles to Pennsylvania. Yesterday I had my window open all day, around 2 pm I hear what sounds like a helicopter really low. I look out the window and it was 3 helicopters very low in a upside down V shape. I have never seen this in the 21 years I have lived here. I started to get a little worried wondering what types of helicopters are these and what were they for. Then around 5 pm another helicopter passes and then at 11pm another one but this one had 2 sets of propellers. This was just weird and kinda scary because I haven't seen one helicopter this close before let alone 5 in one day. So what do you think this means? What do you think they were for? I checked google around my area for helicopters and I didn't see anything, and nothing on the news as well. Should I be worried? I do live by a hospital that has a helicopter station but they never come from this direction because if they did they would be coming from the Lake and they were going towards Pennsylvania.

Have you spoke with anyone in your area to see if they know what is going on ? I wouldn't worry about it to much but would be interested to know what was going on . There is obviously something going on for there to be that many helicopters in your area if this is not usual and because they looked different from the one's for the hospital .
Have you seen anymore today ? Sounds like they were searching for something but who knows what lol

Maybe they were on a training mission Clearly, nothing newsworthy or the local news would be on the air. Another possibility they were searching for something or patrolling for a smuggler that they did not find. Unless it happens again do not worry.

I seemed to be the only one who noticed I think.
I am not sure but it was just a little weird. There were 3 people who drowned in a boating acident in Lake Erie the way the helicopters were going but that was days ago.
I didn't see anything since that day. Or heard anything

Maybe it was some sort of military training exercise... although that's always their excuse. Still, if there was one with two propellers there's a good chance it was transporting people or materials somewhere. Maybe you've noticed some secret happenings.

Yeah maybe its just that I never seen 3 helicopters at once flying in an upside down V shape. Kinda freaky to me.
