Descripton of sighting:

My sister, dad, and I were out hiking near Picket Post when one of us noticed something glimmering near the mountain, so we stopped to look at it. All I could really make out is that it was a small bright dot in the sky. After a good 15 seconds(?) of staring at it just silently hanging in the air trying to figure out wtf it was, I started recording (sorry it’s shaky af, I could barely see my phone screen and was trying to get a good look at it with my own eyes). It then dropped two "flare" looking things, though my sister swears she counted at least 3, and then it instantly sped off (heading south-ish?). Up until that point I thought it might have been a helicopter or a drone as there's a lot of military/airforce base stuff out here, but there's no fuckin way anything can accelerate that fast. We all lost sight of it nearly instantly after the video cuts, and we were all properly freaked the fuck out about it. I’ve replayed the video probably 100 times, and tried showing it to everyone I know, and no one had any idea what it could be other than a super high-end drone. If you think you know, please let me know!

I uploaded it to google drive in case anyone wants the original file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Xpfqu3KqF3GWePjZXGHxWKHlXjG72nsk/vie…

Sorry if I messed anything up, still not quite sure how reddit works 🤷‍♂️
