Northern Ohio Evening Oddity. 20+ Jets In Less Than An Hour

While I was out fishing at the Norwalk Reservoir Wednesday evening with my brother, we noticed three bright lights coming from the northeast (which be Cleveland area). At first we thought we were about to have a close encounter, but then seen the flight lights.

As we stood there and watched, we seen 3 more heading our way. All in all, from 8:45-9:30pm, approximately 20+ jets, in groups of 3, flew over in succession. Half of the jets would break in the same location and head west, and the other half would continue southwest.

The odd thing is that they were flying fairly low, fairly fast, and we couldn't hear them. The only way we knew they were jets was because after they traveled a distance from us, we could see a pair of short contrails. I don't know what kind of jets they were (commercial or military), it was dark.

Last year, a UFO sighting over Lake Erie prompted the Youngstown Reserve AFB, and Wright-Patterson AFB to scramble dozens of jets, but those bases are southeast and southwest of my location.
