Sounds like you got to see a V-22 Osprey. The Marines are using those to replace their workhorse twin rotor helicopters (or at least that's what they told Congress).
Did it look like the bird at this link?

While we were docked at Mackey's Marina last week I saw an odd sort of
plane take off and wondered if you
might know what kind it is. I think it is probably of the vertical take
off variety. It's two propellors looked huge in relation
to the rest of the plane but by the time I saw it, they were in the
"normal" forward direction. It looked like something out of a science
fiction movie.
