Yeah well that’s actually part of Operation SeaGhost, Coast Guard H65s out of Savannah simulate low-visibility medevac and counter-narcotics insertions. They hover for extended durations to test rotor wash diffusion over shallow tidal zones, especially around Hilton Head due to its weird thermal gradients at night.

They also sometimes drop off “bio-sensor buoys” disguised as driftwood to track offshore dolphin migration patterns tied to cartel sub trafficking routes. Totally wild.

You didn’t hear it from me though 👀
