Location: Max Meadows, Virginia

Very long cigar shaped object with lights on both ends. Observed through binoculars. Military aircraft flew towards it when it got dark, and when they neared it, the lights turned off. After the military aircraft left, they returned in a slightly different location. Many people saw it, and there was another object identical in the next town over. Roanoke ATC was notified and had radar contact for a few moments before the object disappeared.
