Very fast, bright metallic silver rectangle spotted, was pursued by military-style jets

The craft was a bright metallic silver rectangle with alternating dark panels along the side. It was viewed first at a distance of about 500 feet over some tree tops then in the sky as it was pursued by three military-style jets. The craft left no trail and made no sound that we could hear from our vantage point. It was quite fast, and noticably faster than the jets.
