In reply to the discussion: My family UFO story: [View all]JoeOtterbein
(7,703 posts)82. About four years ago I was taking out the trash here in SC-PA...
...I looked up to see what I call "a point of light" moving way too fast towards the west, then quickly turned north-west faster than I could blink.
A few seconds later two fighter-type jets flew very low and very fast towards the west. The "point of light" was gon,e before the jets came anywhere close.
Anyway, I have a funny little feeling, that I don't know what I saw. I know saw it. But I really don't feel that it was anything unusual. Just something "natural" that I saw taking out the. trash.
I know that might sound weird, but I really do feel like it was something "natural", so I have no need to worry about what I saw
In fact, until tonight, I never felt the need to tell anyone else but my wife.
Thanks for your post.

Your "two others" were not others at all. Merely just restatements of my point number 3.
