After listening to a dog make a lengthy amount of barking I decided to investigate. Walking out into the backyard I noticed an airplane heading to the west. Nothing to unusual about that but there was a second object below it, heading northwest. I watched it for a bit waiting for the familiar strobe lights, but none were to be seen. I ran inside and grabbed my camcorder to see if I could catch a bit of it on video.

I'm still not convinced that this isn't anything more than a earthly known craft. But after going frame by frame on it there is no hint of any FAA mandatory strobe lights. And so because of that and the fact that it's flight path is considerably lower than what I've observed with all other known craft, compels me to submit it for further scrutiny.
