Standing on the sidewalk with multiple people at my twins 8th grade continuation ceremony at West Middle School & there were two military F16s swooping the sky.
Upon closer observation it was noted that they were attempting to catch up to an object that was tumbling in the sky close to the summit of Pikes Peak. Initially thought it could be a weather balloon until I realized that it’s movement was intentional & against the Rocky Mountain downdrafts that make flying so difficult that close to the mountains.
It was clear reflective & multifaceted. Possibly spherical or cigar shaped & would hover & tumble until the jets came close & then it would move faster than the eye could see & suddenly reappear above or to the side of the jets.
It literally played a cat & mouse game with the F16s for about 20 minutes, as we watched until it darted straight up & was not seen again.
