Multiple objects of varying kinds being chase by fighters from tyndall AFB

Crystal clear night, stepped outside to have a cigarette, live near Tyndall AFB in panama city, looked up because I heard jets.

At first I saw three fighters and one craft of unknown shape that was lit up all over, yellowish lights hard to tell what shape. One of the fighters was within a couple three hundred feet of it and the other two were approximatly 2 miles behind in hot pursuit.

The large object peeled off and was out of sight in a matter of seconds, however the fighters did not follow but they did kick on their afterburners until I couldn't see them anymore, even w/ bino's.

Called my girlfriend outside to see this and apparently while I was looking at her telling her what I saw, she saw something move very quickly across the sky 1 sec +-, this definatly freaked her out.

As I continued to watch the jets and afterburners, I caught comething by pure chance moving at a high rate of speed, thought it was a dim star but it was moving extremely fast coming from the direction the jets were heading,

At this point the base came alive and more jets were put into the air. Didn't see anything else.
