Birght light being followed by helicopter slowly
My wife and I were unloading groceries, we were both facing south south east. mostly clear sky some drifting clouds winds about 15 mph coming from the east.
We heard a helicopter, we both looked up and witnessed a helicopter as well as a bright light at 11:00 to the helicopter coming somewhat slowly from our right. They were both headed northeast. The helicopter sounded military not civilian (We live in a city that has has regular flyovers from police and military helicopters and the sound of the two are quite distinct) The bright lit object was silent. No sounds other than the helicopter. The pair continued on making a slight turn to the east and flew thru some clouds. the bright lit object disappeared completley while the helicopter was still visible. we then lost sight of the pair due to trees and the growing distance.
The objects seemed to be about 500-750 ft up.
No jets were in the sky during this event which i found unusual due to John Wany airport being so close and the fact that jets are a regular sight in the skies above my home. My wife is not a believer in thing slike this but her first words when we saw the objects were "what the blank is that?"
