Two black/dark colored cigar shaped craft.
At around 3 p.m. on November 18, 2019. I was at the Southern end of the taxi-way near runway 36 at 09J. I witnessed two black or dark colored cigar shaped craft with an estimated length of 50' to 60' with an estimated diameter of 12'-15'.
The objects were travelling from East to West. Approximately 1/2 mile South of the Jekyll Island Bridge and causeway. The initial witnessed altitude was around 2000'. Moving at a speed of 250 to 300 knots. The objects appeared to be directly behind each other at a distance of 200'.
Suddenly. The object's altitude dropped to around 500' in about 4 seconds. No nose downward tilt. Perfectly level these two objects descended. They continued on the East/West path maintaining speed.
The leading craft disappeared/vanished while well in my sight. The trailing craft continued on the East/West trajectory until it was out of visual range.
10-15 minutes later. I noticed what looked like a military helicopter circling around the area near where the leading object disappeared.
The NAVY practices helicopter training maneuver's using Sea Hawk's at O9J regularly. I am well versed in their flight patterns. This appeared to be a Sea Hawk circling over the marsh area in search of something.
