Shiny object heading west, 10 miles east of Salida.Planes appear to have chased it away.

Two of us were scanning the sky 10 miles east of Salida, CO when we witnessed an object reflecting the moonlight to the north (NO FAA blinking light). It moved steadily across the sky (horizontal) to the west just over a bluff & then a plane suddenly headed in thsat direction from the other side of the bluff & apeared to chase it away. We had witnessed a larger (or closer) object in the south sky minutes before.(separate report)
