My husband,2 kids, and I were in the pool around 8pm on Sunday the 1st when we noticed what initially looked like a smaller plane, a silver cigar shape, which is common we have a very small airport, but after it had passed, at some point with a minute or 2 my husband notices that is flying by again in a straight line, not taking off from the airport because it would be at an angle if it was. It was traveling fairly slow and then would disappear. At this point we all are watching. When in would go out of sight to the East it wouldreappear in the West. This is when we realized it was 2 flying almost on a loop and appeared to be surveying. This lasted about 10 minutes maybe longer. Then they both were flying together, one higher and one lower, almost side by side until they disappeared on the final loop.
