Brilliant light turning red then disappears

My daughter, her boyfriend,and myself were sitting on my covered back patio at 10 p.m. on September 10,2001. They were sitting there smoking and comversing mostly between themselves. I was just sitting there to show my presence to show her boyfriend that I still liked his company even though their relationship of two years had recently broken up and had left everyone concerned,not knowing exactly how to address each other now! I just happened to be looking to the eastern sky when I saw a brilliant bright light in traditional flight lane over Fairborn, Ohio. I ws looking at it over some power lines that run over my back yard. The light moves up slightly over the power line and seemed to hover there, in relation to the power line and my direction of vision.

Within abo;ut two minutes I saw a light approach this brilliant light from the southern sky. It was headed at a normal aircraft pace to the place that the bright light was hovering. The light from the south sky approached the position where the brilliant light was and it moved straight up as if the jet(I'm thinking) passed it by.

Then a jet with lights blinkiing like an emergency vehicle and headed towards the bright light flew from what I surmise as around Wright Patterson field, which is close to where I live,at a "bat outa hell" pace and sped off toward the position of the light that is still in my vision over the power line in my back yard. When this jet approached this area something very strange happened. The brilliant light turned red and seemed to change into not one but two pulsating red lights and and just blinked out. The jet seemed to fly right past where it was....and we never seem the brilliant light nor the pulsating lights again.

As we talked about what we had seen, I told my daughter that she probably had just leen her first ufo. Her ex-boyfriend didn't know what to think of it either.
