Very bright light swinging around ascended then ejected 2 objects.

On October 25th, 2020, I was in my front yard sky watching and talking to a friend on the phone. While I was talking with him, I noticed the biggest and brightest meteor I had ever seen in the western part of the sky. After scanning the sky a bit more, I looked to my right towards the NE and saw what looked like someone was walking with a very, very bright flashlight on the top of the Eldorado Preserve about a mile from our house. Since it was 9:30pm, I could not understand why anyone would be hiking at that hour way up there. There are many things to be wary of, especially at night; cactus, coyotes, mountain lions and the steepness of the terrain.

I went and got my husband to watch the object. We sat on the bench facing the preserve, watching the light swing back and forth as if someone was walking. After about 2 minutes, I looked at the light and realized that it had lifted above the mountain. It was ascending. The light was still swinging around but was getting dimmer and dimmer. When it was at its highest, about 45 degrees above the horizon, it dimmed until it was almost out. At that point, my husband and I saw two objects eject from the top towards the right and fade. After that, the object completely faded also. There was no further activity that evening.

It was impossible to estimate how far away and how high the object was but due to its brightness, it seemed relatively close.
