light in sky chased away by two jets.

i was sitting on my back porch looking at the stars on a very clear night and noticed that the big dipper looked different. after about one minute one of the big dippers stars did a sort of spiral in a direction moving away outwards from the earth. then about 10 or 15 seconds later, a very loud and fast moving jet past by coming from near west to east. as soon as it past by , another identical sounding jet came from near north to south....neither jets had any lights on whatsoever.it was like the "star was avoiding the jets. the sky was very clear that night with no clouds.i have never heard that kind of jet before. it sounded more like a rocket or something. i never thought it would be a good idea to come forward with this but it seems that it could be of importance since there seems to be more and more sightings .also about 1 or 2 months later i saw something early after sunrise ( in daylight ) it is kind of hard to discribe.
