Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby

A flying disk with white lights was clearly spotted through binoculars in the sunset near Rocky Mountain National Park.

A glowing oval was spotted in the sky at around 6 pm in the sunset. I am guessing it was around the Estes Park area but may have been as close as Taft Street between Fort Collins and Loveland Colorado, and was about as high up as a small 2 person plane would be. It appeared to be rotating and had white lights. After looking through binoculars it had a clear disk shape and with white lights around the top between the disk and bulb. The surface of the disk was smooth and silver or white. It hovered in the air a while but then disappeared completely from site leaving a small black smoke cloud in its place. A few seconds later a large black aircraft appeared in the same location. I could not get a good visual of it as it was bouncing around. This was very strange as the size of it seemed too large to be moving around so fast.I have no idea where it came from or where it went but it was gone in a matter of seconds. After it disappeared another thick black smoke c! loud appeared in the location I spotted both unidentified flying objects and then dissipated. The object did not show up in pictures due to the sun, but the black smoke cloud did after both objects disappeared.
