As a Blackhawk crewchief I witnessed something that looked like the energizer bunny witness commercial.

I was attached to the 2-82 Assault Helicopter Battalion as a Blackhawk mechanic/crewchief. We went to Myrtle beach on a training flight, got dinner, and departed to return to Ft. Bragg. As we were leaving Myrtle beach I began my scan outside the aircraft, sitting right rear behind the copilot seat, and saw a silver object hovering above the city and shining an extremely bright light out of the bottom. The object hovered and I was staring at it trying to determine whether it was a threat, as my job required me to do. Being familiar with towers I conducted my scans around the object looking for overlapping lines, contours, etc. but there were none. I began looking for collision lights and thought it may have been a helicopter hovering but saw no anti collision lights. I continued to stare at the object to determine the threat to our aircraft, distance, direction, etc., and watched it for approximately 15-20 seconds while we were flying perpendicular to it. If you’ve ever seen the energizer bunny commercial where he recharges the disc and it blasts off into space with a light trail, that’s exactly what I saw. The object/vehicle accelerated at a speed I can’t place into words other than if you imagine something is there and then suddenly it’s miles and miles and miles away into the nothingness of space in the blink of an eye. Behind it was a light trail which could’ve been my eyes adapting to the light moving so quickly but being experienced in the aircraft and being trained to identify objects, there’s no way possible it belonged to us or was man made, at least nothing I was privy to with my military aircraft knowledge. I can’t reiterate the idea enough that it was literally identical to the energizer bunny commercial where the ufo crashes, the bunny reenergizes it, and it beams away at light speed. I kept my mouth shut out of fear of judgement, conducted the post flight debrief back on Simmons airfield, went home and woke my ex wife up from her sleep because I was so startled. I explained the incident to her and she saw how rattled I was and knew I was telling the truth. I stayed silent for months until one day I asked a senior pilot I trusted whether he had ever seen anything weird in the sky. He confirmed he had and asked what I had seen. I told him of the incident that happened months prior and he informed me I was indeed not seeing things and that he’s seen that exact thing on 4 or 5 occasions. The best description I can give is a silver object with the brightest glowing light you could imagine sped away at such a rate it’s indescribable and disappeared into nothing.
