Military helicopter and plane flying in formation

Just saw what sounded like a military Blackhawk flying at low altitude past Rattlesnake headed towards Gilford. But it was closely following a small plane that was flying without running lights. Seems like there are more military flights happening - the other week we were coming back from Alton Bay and saw a large military transport (bigger than a C-130, maybe a C-5 or C-17) that was flying very closely just behind and below a small plane in a similar path during the early evening. Wonder why the formation flying over the lake... Seems like a specialized thing.
