As usual, i arrived at work at 4:25 am on tuesday 4/30/2019. part of my daily routine when i arrive to work is to look up into the heavens and thank god for another day. on this particular day, there was some patchy fog to my west, but was predominantly clear directly overhead and to my east. just before entering my business, i noticed what appeared to be a very, very bright star to my east. it wasn't venus, because i looked and located it. i stared at this stationary bright star / object for approximately 5 seconds, perplexed at what it could be. suddenly it began to ascend very slowly at a 45 degree angle heading east over the ocean, rapidly gaining speed until it disappeared above some high thin cirrus clouds. the object was bright solid glowing white. no red or green flashing lights like an aircraft. no con trail like a high altitude jet. it was not an aircraft or meteor because it was stationary, then began to ascend at a slow speed and accelerate much faster than any aircraft.
