Here is the thing I find... odd...
Let me start out by telling a story. There is a motivational speaker named Zig Ziggler. He is a born again Christian who goes around and talks for money. The way he became born again, is he was on the phone with a friend, and God started talking on the line. He told him of his calling, and what he must do..
The thing I find funny about that story, is if someone broke in on a line and told me they were God, about 30 more viable explanations would enter my head long before I got to "it's really God".
Even if what you think you saw was in fact, what you saw, I would be far more inclined to think it's something humans made but hidden from the masses, then a small ship traveling though billions of milles of space, just to visit ohio and never to return or be discovered again.
Thanks to TV, Movies, and 11 year old imaginations, the space thing is always the first thing people jump to.
I can not tell you what it was, but my question, is in absence of any idea how to explain it, why jump right off the bat to aliens? You live 10 miles from a military instillation. I would put far more faith in that then I would outer space. But that's just me :)

Its entirely possible it was a craft from Wright-Patt or Rickenbacker. However, I have yet to see any military design that is remotely close to what I saw. If I do see any military craft close to what I saw, you'll be the first to know 
And I agree with the argument of why come to Ohio just to hover around for a few minutes, and nothing more. That is why I argued the supernatural connection. But as you said, military craft could be the answer if we had anything remotely close to what I saw.

Yea,
And I have no idea if it is the answer. It could be the bread your lunch was made that day was tainted and caused you two to hallucinate, or that gases around the power lines causes some sort of optical effect, or any other thing that doesn't sound really right.
But the thing I find interesting, is when we have no clue what something is, the best we can do to rap our heads around it, is start guessing. Aliens from space seem to be a lot father down the list as something I would guess then a lot of people.
I think media, and the fact that it would be cool if it was true play a huge role in jumping to that solution.

Not to mention it was the 90s when X-Files was pretty damn popular haha. Hell I'd have thought the same thing haha.

I was never allowed to watch that show...
However, as said, there are many potential 'other' options that it could of been. However, I still remember what it looked like, what it did, and what it sounded like. I have yet to research or find anything that resembles an analogue to what I saw. The last thing I wanted, or want to sound like, or think like, is a UFO nut.
Now, on the subject of extraterrestrial life...I think thats something we'll find out in our lifetimes. My reasoning is that we've discovered multiple planets in the goldilocks zone - the area that should harbor life in it - as well as have 3 planets roughly within the zone in our own solar system. We also have Europa, which is said to possibly have oceans underneath the icy crust. Therefore, if the potential for life exists, Europa as well as Mars and Venus should give us *some* indication.
And again, our telescopes have improved greatly in the past 50 years. I'd imagine that we'll create bigger, better, and more powerful telescopes that can look at and analyze exoplanets that are nearby.
