Well, yes it does, if you're attempting to alert us of something out of the ordinary.
(Then again, any formation of six Ospreys managing to all stay aloft might be considered out of the ordinary.)
V22 has proven to be one of the most dependable aircraft in the fleet. Do you work for Sikorski or Chaney or Time, by chance?
It only took 'em fifteen years and 53 lives to work out the kinks. Given that only 400 have been built, that's not a good record.
Twin-engine VTOL is inherently unstable -- you lose one prop, you're fucked hard. (Not saying there's a better way to do it, but it is what it is.)
Yeah, that's why it seemed odd. Never seen them fly over.

They are magnificent beasts.
They are the opposite of stealth mode. Huge targets. Awesome, but 5 cargo helicopters are quieter.
