Gems in the Sky

The following is based on a report submitted to MUFON...

November 7, 2015, 6:30 pm.
     He stepped out onto his West Carrollton, Ohio property to feel the cool air on his face, cigarette in one hand and the lighter in his other.  The sun was low in the western sky, the first stars peeking through the dark veil in the east.
     Wright Patterson Air Force Base was fifteen minutes away, and he loved watching the aircraft fly overhead.  Being a retiree of the Air Force, with over thirty years experience as an aircraft mechanic, he had intimate knowledge and familiarity with USAF aircraft.  The smell of oil and grease, the feel of the tools in his hands, and the piercing sounds of the craft as they lifted off.  Boy, he missed it.
     He lit the cigarette, took a long, deep drag, and blew out the smoke.  The puff of gray smoke drifted away on a scant breeze, headed slightly north of the setting sun.  And through the smoke, he noticed something peculiar in the sky above the tree line.
     Coming in from the northwest, they traveled a straight and level path.  Traveling in formation like a couple of F-16's, two gem-shaped craft flew in formation, straight and level toward the southeast.
     "That's not one of ours," he thought.  Despite his military background and his aircraft experience, he had no idea what these flying objects were.  "You've gotta be shittin' me."
     He quickly pulled out his cell phone and accessed the video app.  He felt he needed proof of whatever it was he was witnessing.  Fumbling with the zoom, he tried desperately to maintain focus, but with his glasses in the house, he had trouble reading the different video controls.
     As he trained the camera on the gem-shaped objects, they flew right over his home.  He had absolutely no idea how these twin objects had been designed or their manner of operation.  Their unusual spinning in unison was nothing he had ever experience, or had known of any conventional aircraft to behave in the sky.
     Once the spinning objects passed over his house toward the southwest, the first disappeared.
     "Holy shit," he thought.
     The second one traveled a bit further, nearing the tree line, before it, too, disappeared.
     The next day, he reported the incident and sent his video to the Mutual UFO Network.
