As I left the creek to get to my car parked along the road I looked up and there were 3 huge gray, silent saucer shaped airborne ships.

I had just been stationed at Davis Monthan AFB in Arizona and heard that Sonotia was a great place to hike. I drove to Sonotia very early in the morning and hiked along the creek that runs through the area for about 2 hours. As I was coming out of the wooded area and going to cross the road to my car I happened to look up. There was no noise at all, but 3 huge ships were overhead….it was so silent though. They were flying one behind the other in silence. As I watched them they rotated and went slightly nose up….all 3 took off at an amazing speed and disappeared from sight within about 15-20 seconds. Again NO sound. I served as a Jet Engine mechanic for 20 years in USAF I was still active duty when this happened.
