I'll take facts, thank you very much! 
Me and the ex one very stormy day were watching some very interesting things happening out in the near distance up about 2,000' or so in a near by bay. Winds were a good 80 mph: I wish that I knew what that day was so I could go back and look at the records. I saw a light up there. I watched for quite a while. It barely moved, in which case I figured it to be a Vertol craft; but, in those high winds? This was a pretty nasty storm, lots of gusts and such. And then ANOTHER light shot into the area, in near proximity to the first one. They stayed nearly still for what seemed like several minutes. And then they shot off (I think both together, but I cannot recall). I thought I witnessed a very extreme turn as they shot off, a maneuver that I don't think could be done in any Vertol (except, perhaps, a Harrier- I know of no Harriers in this area). I've got an idea of Harriers and helicopters, as well as weather phenomena: all experienced while in the Marine Corps..
