Object Intercepted by Jets Over Death Valley National Park (2016)

While sky watching at the border of Death Valley National Park, October 1st, 2016 we noticed what looked like a perfect white star falling from the sky. We soon realized it was an object entering the atmosphere. The object initially was dropping straight down from the sky, then it begin to express propulsion capabilities by moving towards the right, eventually flying completely horizontal. It was not blinking at all. It was a solid white color, just like a star. It appears as though after accelerating, then dropping, the object turns away from our location (which happens to be over Area 51) where it is intercepted by the jet fighters that can be seen as blinking lights. Near the end of the video, you will see jet fighters entering the video to intercept the object. The object disappears almost at the same time that the jet fighters arrive on the scene. We know these were jets based on observations of that flight path in the sky from hours of previous investigations.
