Two lights in the Columbus, Ohio sky - middle of the day.

Around 11:30am EST, I went outside for lunch and noticed what appeared to be a star in the midday sky. It seemed very out of place, so i pointed it out to my manager. We watched as is slowly went from east to west, at what appeared to be a very, very high altitude. As it went westward, I noticed another "object" in the sky. It was the same color and size, but this one seemed to be pulsating...light, dark, light, dark. Both objects seemed to be silver in color, but none got close enough to actually make out any details.

The second object began moving to the north, again at a very high altitude. Suddenly, the second object began descending rapidly, while moving in a zig-zag pattern. Certainly not a random movement. After several minutes, the second object vanished over the horizon. The first object, which had become hidden behind a tree, suddenly rose up again, and headed in the direction that the first one went. It quickly followed the other object and disappeared.

I also noticed a white plane with red markings in the vicinity, circling the area. I did not recognize the plane, but it was a prop plane with a fixed overhead wing.
