I was active duty in the USAF, a jet engine mechanic and observed three circular crafts

I had been hiking by the stream that runs through Sonotia. I was on the trail for about 2 hours. I emerged from the forest and walked to my Jeep. I looked up...I heard no sound...but looked up. There were 3 large gray circular ships (none of the type I knew the military had) they were flying above my head...it was odd that they made NO sound and they were very large. They looked to be spaced equal distances from one another.

I watched them until they turned to the right and took off at speed, they disappeared in seconds...again with NO sound.

A week or so later the backyard of my home entirely lit up at night, I looked out the window and saw 2 alien shapes, very tall (about 7 feet).
