A silver colored baseball bat shaped object fell from the sky in between the passing of 3 military jets.

Sunday 7/26/20 at 16:15 hrs I went out into my front yard and heard the sound of an aircraft that I recognized as the sound of a military aircraft from my back ground as a flight attendant for MAC flights.I did not see an aircraft. Seconds later, I heard a second military aircraft pass overhead. This second aircraft was visible to me, moving form West to East. It quickly disappeared into the horizon. Seconds after the disappearance, at a much lower altitude (2,000 ft?), I saw a long thin, light silver baseball bat shaped object descending slowly at approximately a 45 degree angle. I lost sight of the "bat"beyond the roof lines of my neighborhood. I stood still waiting for the sound of a crash-which never occurred. Immediately afterwards a third jet passed overhead, again moving from West to East. This jet was visible to me for seconds as it too passed into and disappeared into the horizon.
