Black w red accent, a shape changing object that captured the attention of a military jet plane.

Watching the sunrise I saw what appeared to be a large piece of trash or similar drifting NW.
it appeared to be 1-3 miles away. I grabbed  my quality binoculars to look closer.
When I returned it had the shape of a human and with a Viking-like helmet (horns?), all black.
At this point I still assumed trash as it continued to change shape.
Just above this object a saw a military jet fly towards it and past it. It appeared to be investigating, perhaps from Nellis AFB?? It began to move quicker, still changing and at last resembling a pod or an almond, black with red accent., it moved out of my line of sight, so I ran to my front window to follow it, camera and binoculars in hand, but it as no where to be seen.
