Frozenthought, you say you were facing north but the video shows the lakeshore on the left of frame. The Lakeshore runs in a south westerly direction from Eastlake which means your camera was pointed south west. Here you can see in these two video captures, the shoreline and the objects - one heading west (left) and one heading east (right).
I have a google earth capture of the area showing the compass bearings but I'll have to buy more upload space to show you, so I hope I don't need to go that far to prove what I'm saying.

Another thought if these are airplanes frozenthought would be able to see them coming in and out all night long. I also seems like the lights are not the right colors to be airplane lights...

Frozenthought,
I'd like to thank you for being forthcoming with some of the details regarding where this video was shot. David Sereda has been much less gracious in his sharing of these details, as I've requested from him the last couple of days.
I've taken a close look at the compressed video being hosted on Youtube, which is far less than optimum for any meaningful analysis. I asked Sereda if he would be willing to share the video with Jeff Ritzmann & myself, and he flat out declined. He knows who I am, so it's not like I'm some stranger looking to grab his goodies.
Jeff thinks there's a good possibility that these are indeed conventional aircraft. I have to agree with him.
The lack of sound is exactly correct, as pointed out by defcon5. You would not expect to hear engine sound from a jet facing you, at a considerable distance. The movements of the objects are indeed consistent with defcon5's other observations. I have email from a couple of other people who live in that area, and feel that these are indeed airplanes.
More problematic is the attitude I got from Sereda, when inquiring about details of the location and specifics of your video shoot. The close proximity of airports, which I expected, is a pretty strong indication of the potential of these being airplanes. David immediately discounted any notion that this could be a possibility. When I continued to request some details, he finally accused me of being a debunker and NSA operative. You might want to talk to him about these responses to my legitimate queries.
If you would be willing to let us see the original, uncompressed video footage, Jeff & I would be happy to offer you our objective, professional opinions. Just for the record, NOTHING would thrill us more than having genuine UFO footage, but Sereda's responses to me indicate that he is less interested in the truth about this footage being discovered, and more interested in having something compelling for his film. Please forgive/correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you involved in this project, perhaps as a producer?

So are you a producer on the Sereda film?

Man, this is starting to get real old, Are you people not even reading what I am saying? I said if you are looking strait out over the lake you are looking North, I never said I was filming facing North, But as a matter of fact, when object #2 came closer and got more infront of me, THEN I was facing almost Due North.
I said you had about the right orintation? If I was facing/filming in a south direction I would have been filming away from the lake?
I really don't care if any of you think they are planes coming into land at Hopkins, Even though they are going in the wrong direction, if that is what you need to do to sleep at night, I'm cool with that.

So much for objectivity.

Dude, I'm sorry if the questions upset you but your directions don't add up. The object on the left is heading west and looks to be on a course for Cleveland. You keep saying both objects were heading east away from Burke and Hopkins airports. Don't you think we should get the directions right?

The answer to that appears to be....
No
But thanks for the background info.

Yes indeed, But I guess I needed a little plastic surgery because i am even better looking now :-) Can't keep a good man down!

I have watched the video a few times, and I am impressed with what I see. I've been a pilot for about 10 years and I do quite a bit of night flying. I don't see any indication of typical aircraft lighting on the objects in the video. There are no nav lights, no strobes, and I would not expect to see landing lights on an object that is clearly moving away from the camera. What we are seeing must be the illumination of the propulsion system.

Funny, I always felt that passion & objectivity went together quite well.
Objectivity helps keep Passion focused, as to not fall prey to Obsessive Belief.
But YMMV.
So the fact that you don't care if I look at the rest of your footage, is essentially a statement that you will not make uncompressed footage available for third party, independent analysis?
