Saw Disc about 40 ft from me, helicopters came and picked it up.

I was in the woods and I saw a single helicopter circling, this went on for about 2 hours. Two additional helicopters showed up and they were shining their lights on the ground, while the first helicopter cirlced above, this went on for about 4 hours. Then I saw a disk come through the trees. It went up and down about 40 ft from where I was standing and it was hovering and kind of slanted. Then the disk went back into the woods. A fourth helicopter showed up (a military type) and landed. It was there about two hours and then it took off and the disc was gone.
