Fighter planes chase light over Washington, DC, area.

At 11 pm on Feb 4th I was awakened to a sound of fighter planes overhead. nI live right next to the Pentagon in a high rise. I have not heard fighter planes since Sept 11th. The noises were very loud rising and falling as the planes went overhead.

I stepped out on my 16th floor balcony and could see two faint white lights moving in a circular pattern overhead. I could not see the fighter plane or planes...but could see these lights. One disappeared...but the other moved in a s shaped pattern and circled back...it did not happen any other lights on it. Just a single white light.

I called the local news station (radio) and reported what I had seen. They said another man from Mclean, VA, had done the same. (7 miles away maybe) I called a friend during the event..and he heard the noises as well..but did not see what i saw.

Left a message with Washington Post. Radio station said they would get to the bottom of it. This was the State of the Union address night...so security was high...but the lights i saw were not moving in a normal pattern
