Two Air Force jets chasing object

1998 date unknown I did observe two Air Force jets chasing an object is heading from the West to the east after about a minute or two and high speed chase I saw the two aircraft brake off and heading back to the West they gave up in approximately five minutes later I saw the same object again coming from the south headed towards the North   in the direction Stevensville leaving the vicinity of Gatesville  Texas  I was working on a state prison unit and was on a guard Tower at the time when I observe the action in the air of the two aircraft breaking off away from the object the next day I went to the local newspaper in Killeen Texas and ask the editor at the front desk if there'd been any reports of anything in the Western sky outside of Fort Hood area, the man then stated to me or you another person that sing that object in the sky I looked at him and said okay that's all I need to hear he started hollering at me to come back and talk to him but I said no I'll not be ridiculed but idiots that don't understand I went back out in my vehicle and left I knew at that time what I seen was real it was not a figment of my imagination because other people had seen it also, the aircraft both look like F-15 Eagles, I did have my private pilot's license my father was in the military for 37 years I also worked at it Army Airfield in Germany when I was in high school one of my hobbies is military aircraft at that time I could tell you every known military aircraft in the USA allies and Warsaw Pact and I can guarantee you the aircraft they was chasing at the time was no known aircraft it had no wings it just look like a smear in the sky it was moving so fast it look like a cylinder almost like a flying pill
