Saw an object, and several Military jets flew toward it in an area where we rarely see military jets overhead.

My wife and I were driving down State Highway 65 in MN from Isanti to Fridley on a clear spring day. We were about 15 minutes into our drive when I glanced out the drivers side window to the east and saw a teardrop shaped object that appeared to be falling in the sky, and left absolutely no trail outside of the taper to the teardrop "point". The object was about 3/4 white and the center of it was a dull black, almost a matte black. I was watching the object, about 30 seconds after I saw it we heard fighter jets flying. we saw 4 jets flying directly at the object, and the closest air base is about 100 miles away in Brainerd. The jets flew directly at the object, which appeared to be slowly descending about 30 degrees above the horizon. At this point the jets had appeared to be closing in. Suddenly we heard another jet, and looked to see 3 more (i think) jets flying toward the object. I would estimate that the object was somewhere above central Wisconsin. As the jets are flying, we looked toward the west and saw a bullet shaped silver craft that appeared to be burning atmosphere. Then another fighter jet flew toward the west. The object descended past the tree line, where neither of us could see it anymore. The object in the west has taken a turn and headed south where we lost track of it in the sun.
