White light moving randomly in Corpus Christi sky.

Standing in my backyard, located in the south-side of Corpus Christi, I spotted what appeared to be a star at first glance. After a second of staring I noticed that it started to slowly move eastward. After a good 3 seconds the objects movement dramatically change. This white light rapidly did a half figure eight pattern swooping down a good range in the sky. Now, after the object disappeared from my view, I noticed that there were three helicopters flying in the sky also. It is unusual to see helicopters in Corpus Christi unless you are on the beach. We are use to seeing planes here, so the difference can be distinguished easily.
