Two black dots playing hide and seek.

I spent four years in the Marine Corps as a Stinger gunner. A stinger is a shoulder fired anti aircraft missile.

At least 50 percent of my training was spent studying the size, shape and characteristics of over 400 worldwide aircraft. Both foreign and domestic.

Military, and civilian.

I was Discharged “Honorably” as a Non commissioned officer.

Because of my background, I’ve lived life with my eyes trained on the sky.

Approximately two months ago while walking from my house to my vehicle.

I looked up briefly and scanned the sky. Taking pause for a moment on a section between a cloud formation, and at A range of about 10,000 ft slightly southwest of my position.

I immediately spotted a single black dot with absolutely no identifiable characteristics. Clearly this wasn’t any conventional aircraft I’m am familiar with.

This dot caught my attention as it moved out from the cloud for 2 seconds, and then reversing course immediately going back into the cloud.

The object continued with this behavior 3 times before a second object of the same size and shape followed it into the adjacent cloud formation. These radical movements simply could not have been accomplished by any aircraft I’m familiar with. The speed with which they moved at that altitude was astonishing.

I honestly never thought I would see anything in the sky that I was unable to explain to some degree .

I did however.

I believe my military background, and experience Lends a great deal of credibility to my opinion.
