I watched to the 2 second mark when they showed the balloon stuck in a tree.I watched until the 9:15 ish mark. Those are helicopters in formation. A formation of hawks. 100%. It's very evident from just the sound in the video. They're flying NVGs certainly, and the two forward aircraft have their anti-collision lights off with their landing lights on. This isn't an uncommon way to fly in formation, as the anti-collision flashing is very annoying (borderline disorienting) to have in your immediate view as a trailing aircraft. The NVGs actually turn off momentarily when they sense the bright red flash - this happens every couple of seconds, and more with multiple aircraft in front of you flashing at different intervals.
