Two military jets chasing illumnated object over Wisconsin

I live on a dead end private lake road. Across the road, from my cottage, is a well treed woods . My brother came over to talk about mothers estate after I had gotten out of work late . After talking for a few hours , I walked my brother out to his car parked in my driveway . The conversation continued out at the driveway for a while and was interrupted by the sound of a jet. My brother, whom knows more about aircraft than I do, said it sounded more like two jets and that they were military. I moved back towards the cottage to get a better field of view and witnessed an illuminated object being chased by two military jets . I called my brother over to the spot in witch I was at to see what I was seeing . When he got there he thought that the jets were F-16s , and that they had their after burners on. The object was elevating and taking a zig zag pattern. Every time the object would make a radius turn , the jets would take an intercept angle . The object seemed to be a bit faster than the jets and seemed to me that it was checking their capabilities. After three or four turns , my brother , told me that the jets were at their max ceiling and that they would have to stop elevating . About twenty to thirty seconds later , the two jets , turned off their after burners and turned 180 degrees as we watched the illuminated object fly straight out of the atmosphere and disappear into the stars. From what I could tell , the craft was disk shaped and illuminated , and from what my brother and I could tell , it was about twice the size of one jet . We also could not tell exactly how far from us this had occurred, it could have been two miles or several.
