I was sitting at my back porch in Bridgeport CT in about 1987; all of a sudden a brightly multi colored round object the size of small car flew into the back yard and landed under the dogwood tree; this was a smallish saucer type satellite; when I ran outside the multicolored disk zoomed into the night sky...this is the amazing part~when I looked up into the night time sky to see if I could see the lights; there were Four Fighter Jets flying in strict formation high in the sky; this was at 11 pm. Amazing! (the four fighter jets did not have any lights on or any sound flying in formation-definitely something to do w the "satellite")!

Yes, military aircraft are fully equipped with standard exterior aviation lighting systems and routinely operate them at night, though they possess the technical ability to go completely dark during specialized operational combat sorties....

Although I did not create the photo in my post; this is basically exactly what I was looking at one clear night in the Northeast!
Think this report may match another sighting — same object, same night, nearby location?
