While driving west on 38th street after crossing the bridge i saw a small light hovering above the national cemetery area. it was dark out. being the eve of veterans day i figured it was someone just taking a picture of the lights on each of the headstones in the cemetery. as i got closer i noticed it was not a helicopter or sorts being no sound in the area. about the time i made it to the train tracks it took of at a fast pace heading north, northeast. its take off speed was between 2-4 times faster than i was driving. as it flew over i could not make out any shapes or shadows, just the single solid white light. i coasted to side of the road and tried to see where it was going. i lost sight after it passed the tree line to the northeast. there was no 2nd or 3rd lights you normally would see on a small engine plane that are red and green. there was no sound. there was no other cars in the area while driving. street lighting is to a bear minimal in tat area ruling out light refraction. though it was dark out it could have not been more than 500 feet of the ground. (maybe 3-4 tree lengths in the air.) the map included shows locations and paths. red is the object in question. purple is me traveling in car. the next drawing is of the light hovering just past the fence line above the stones.
