The fighter jet pursued the trail of fire with astonishing speed, as if racing against time.
The speed of the fire seemed to slow a bit, allowing the fighter jet to faintly hang back.
A wave of amazement rippled through the crowd of onlookers; many took out their phones, trying to capture this unbelievable scene.
But it all happened too quickly.
Soon, the trail of fire moved away from the town, and the fighter jet followed suit, until they became mere specks in the distant sky.
When the last trace of fire disappeared from view, the noise from the crowd gradually subsided.
People started discussing in small groups what had just happened; some thought it might be an alien spacecraft, while others insisted it was just a secret experimental project of some country.
···················
Meanwhile, in the sky.
The chase continued.
Pilots from Lighthouse Country, having received orders, tried to keep a tight track of the distant fire.
