Brillant oblong object spotted over Aurora, CO.

It was a clear, Sunday afternoon. No clouds. I was sitting in the kitchen have lunch. My sliding glass window faces my backyard. My backyard backs up to a park. I live in a new development. The trees are young, not very big. At approximately 13:20 hours (or 1:20 ish) I saw a oblong/oval brillant object in the sky. It appeard like it was floating. There was no noise. It was the brightest and most unusual object I have ever seen. I live very close to Buckley Airforce base. I am very familar with the jets/planes that fly around as well as the very loud noise they make. The object was not very big, although it was hard to gage the distance. It probably was the size of an F14 - just oval and made of light. It was sun brillant. I could make out by the shadows that it appared to have two decks. I watched as it moved behind a small tree. I waited to it see appear on the other side, never looking away, but it never reappeared on the other side of the tree. I w! ent outside to look in all directions and it just vanished. About 7 to 10 minutes later, I saw a jet (white and red not grey like all the other jets I've seen) take off in a southeast direction. Just one jet, no others followed. I know what I saw was real.
