Well actually, the trajectory extends into Fairfax (Huntington), which is just south of Old Town Alexandria.

Maybe they're looking for (or found) the body of that guy who went in the water under Key Bridge today.

The reason a helicopter...ANY helicopter circles...is a mixture of inputs by the pilot to the collective, cyclic and pedal controls.
