**Why do helicopters circle my house?  
Alien slavery**

Exactly right. The government has made a deal with the space aliens. The government gets alien technology and the aliens will not invade the planet. In exchange, they use their black helicopters to search out potential candidates for abduction, who then become slaves (and/or ‘specimens’) for the aliens. Sometimes the black helicopters do the abducting on the aliens’ behalf.
