Could you describe the helicopters at all? Colour? Size? Anything?

We need something to work with friend

It was dark out so color is out of the question, however when I first spotted them it looked like they had the body of an A10 but driven by a propeller rotary based system. They went by fairly quickly and I quickly looked up what I could but it had a long body like but a top side propeller.

There were only two that I saw and by formation I mean they were sticking to each other as if there were strength in numbers.

OK. You saw two 'copters.

Was there something important or different about them that you needed to post that sighting of? I fail to understand what you want from us that click on the thread. So I'll repeat what I said in the first sentence:
"OK. You saw two 'copters."

You wanna hear about the rabbit sitting motionless in my back yard 30 minutes ago?

Feel free to post a thread on your rabbit, I asked a question without the sensationalist hype. I stated a fact, and asked if anyone knew anything about it, but thanks for the posts in this instance I don't mind a troll.

With your description of the 'A-10 body' you probably saw V-22 Ospreys? The Osprey has a twin tail configuration. USMC Ospreys are based in North Carolina.

QuietSpeach -

Cannot say for certain not knowing your proximity to the aircraft but It may very well have been a formation of ShadowHawk UAVs. These "helicopters" are small but at night with their navigation lights on often appear to be full size aircraft except for the lower noise signature. The aircraft are produced by Vanguard Defense Industries in Spring, Texas. For more information you can view go to their site (which is limited for obvious reasons) or perform searches for: ShadowHawk UAS.
