8-11-05 Objects pass in the sky, then play chase!

I finally saw the "dancing" lights I have alway's heard about. It was awsome! Tonight, I went out side about 9PM to see if the meteor shower was visible yet. I looked straight up and noticed something moving. I live out in the country, under a fly path, and almost alway's see something moving in the sky's above me. Most flights are at maximum altitude above me (30 K feet, I believe it is). Anyway's, looking at this movement in the sky, which seemed to be much higher than normal flights...... much higher, and not the normal path I usually see,heading more south than southeast, when all the sudden I saw it zig-zag. I thought my eyes were playing tricks with me. I kept looking and it happened again. It zig zagged to both sides, several times. So, I ran inside to get my binoculars. When I got back outside I pointed my binoculars towards the area in the sky, where I believed the object should have been by this time and somehow, almost instantly had this object in view. At the same time I saw another object, coming from the opposite direction , in the same view. The paths of both did not look very straight, but definately on the same paths. Their paths looked so close that I thought they were going to hit. As soon as they passed each other, the northbound object immediately turned around and followed the other object, like it was nothing.......kind of like playing a game of chase. The turn radius had to take less than two seconds...... kind of like a kid turning his bike around in the street and heading back in the opposite direction, in one smooth motion. I was awstruck! I have never seen a plane make movements like that, includine jet fighters I have watched on tv. The turn radius was way more severe than anything I have ever seen on tv. I don't see how someone could withstand G-forces like that, the way the one turned. The objects looked like solid white lights (not blinking like planes usually do), kind of how planets look through a telescope, and they may have even been a little oblong.... not a perfect circle. I watched these until they went beyond the tree lines to the south. I have probably seen thousands of planes in the sky's, above my house , but have never seen anything like this. This was amazing!!!! I wanted to tell someone, but didn't know who I should contact. So, I at least wanted to find a web site and get out my enthusiasm of what I had just witnessed. So, here I am.

I do believe in UFO's, and do analyze everything I see in the sky that looks suspicious. I alway's conclude that what I see is a plane, helecopter, weather balloon, or a satelite. I ruled out everything on this list. This definately was odd. These things looked like they were moving faster than the jet's I watch. I have no idea what I just witnessed. I have to call them unidentified! Not the normal sightnings I usually see in the sky. I just hope someone else saw them. I am so excited!! I almost forgot..... I didn't hear any sounds coming from these objects.... they may have been too high to hear.
